Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING-H2 finger motif. Deletions and mutations in this gene were detected in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), suggesting that this protein may be a potential tumor suppressor. Studies of the mouse counterpart suggested a role of this protein in the transcription regulation that controls germinal differentiation. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein are observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Staining summary

Strong nuclear and cytoplasmic staining was observed in bone marrow poietic cells while fractions of adrenal cortex displayed strong cytoplasmic positivity. Respiratory epithelia, the gastrointestinal tract, gall bladder and lung exhibited moderate cytoplasmic staining. Remaining normal tissues were weakly stained or negative.
