To investigate the expression of activator protein-2 (AP-2) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by immunohistochemistry. Three AP-2 isoforms alpha (alpha), beta (beta), and gamma (gamma) are known to exhibit a highly homologous structure; however, their functions are considered to be different. AP-2 has been implicated to play a role in carcinogenesis, as well as in the development of the kidney.
