The majority of the malignant tissues exhibited moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Gliomas and several cases of melanomas showed strong staining. Prostate, cervical and stomach cancers and several cases of endometrial and hepatocellular were weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the collapsin response mediator protein family. Collapsin response mediator proteins form homo- and hetero-tetramers and facilitate neuron guidance, growth and polarity. The encoded protein promotes microtubule assembly and is required for Sema3A-mediated growth cone collapse, and also plays a role in synaptic signaling through interactions with calcium channels. This gene has been implicated in multiple neurological disorders, and hyperphosphorylation of the encoded protein may play a key role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
