Facts about Zinc finger protein PLAG1.
Proto-oncogene whose ectopic expression can trigger the development of pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary gland and lipoblastomas. Overexpression is connected with up-regulation of IGFII, is frequently observed in hepatoblastoma, common primary liver tumor in childhood.

Expressed in fetal tissues such as lung, liver and kidney. Not detected or weak detection in normal adult tissues, but highly expressed in salivary gland with benign or malignant pleiomorphic adenomas with or without 8q12 aberrations, with preferential occurrence in benign tumors.
