A majority of cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic with additional nuclear positivity in several cases. Several cases of lymphomas, gliomas, skin and testicular cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, epsilon (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The product of this gene belongs to the ligand-gated ionic channel (TC 1.A.9) family. It encodes the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor which is a multisubunit chloride channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. This gene encodes an epsilon subunit. It is mapped to chromosome Xq28 in a cluster comprised of genes encoding alpha 3, beta 4 and theta subunits of the same receptor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but only one is thought to encode a protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
