A majority of malignant cells were weakly stained or negative. Several cases of pancreatic, prostate, ovarian, colorectal, urothelial and stomach cancers displayed moderate cytoplasmic staining with additional membranous positivity in a few cases.
This gene encodes a member of the Par-1 family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The protein is an important regulator of cell polarity in epithelial and neuronal cells, and also controls the stability of microtubules through phosphorylation and inactivation of several microtubule-associating proteins. The protein localizes to cell membranes. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]
