Most of the cancer cells displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and membranous immunoreactivity. Lymphomas and stomach cancers along with several gliomas and carcinoids were negative.
Cancer cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity.

Description
Par-6 family cell polarity regulator alpha (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the PAR6 family and encodes a protein with a PSD95/Discs-large/ZO1 (PDZ) domain and a semi-Cdc42/Rac interactive binding (CRIB) domain. This cell membrane protein is involved in asymmetrical cell division and cell polarization processes as a member of a multi-protein complex. The protein also has a role in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that characterizes the invasive phenotype associated with metastatic carcinomas. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
