Most testicular and colorectal cancers along with several melanomas, breast, ovarian, endometrial, urothelial, stomach and pancreatic cancers displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
Most cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity and nuclear staining. Several cases of testicular, gastric and liver cancers were strongly stained. Several renal cancers were negative.

Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a large family of proteins defined by an alpha/beta hydrolase fold, and contains three sequence motifs that correspond to a catalytic triad found in the esterase/lipase/thioesterase subfamily. It differs from other members of this subfamily in that its putative catalytic triad contains an asparagine instead of the serine residue. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome, a triglyceride storage disease with impaired long-chain fatty acid oxidation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
