Cancer tissues showed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. A few cases of carcinoids, colorectal, testicular and gastric cancers displayed strong staining. Cervical cancers and several cases of breast as well as prostate cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a nuclear protein expressed in a variety of tissues. Expression of this gene has been shown to be repressed by B-cell CLL/lymphoma 6 (BCL6), a transcriptional repressor required for lymph node germinal center development, suggesting that BCL6 regulates apoptosis by its effects on this protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants and pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 9 and 12. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
