Most cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity with additional nucleolar staining in several cases. Few cases of prostate and colorectal cases were strongly stained. Lymphomas were negative.
Most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. A majority of cases in female genital cancers, skin and renal cancers were negative.

Description
DnaJ (Hsp40) homolog, subfamily A, member 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the DNAJ/Hsp40 protein family. DNAJ/Hsp40 proteins stimulate the ATPase activity of Hsp70 chaperones and play critical roles in protein folding, degradation, and multimeric complex assembly. The encoded protein is localized to mitochondria and mediates several cellular processes including proliferation, survival and apoptotic signal transduction. The encoded protein also plays a critical role in tumor suppression through interactions with oncogenic proteins including ErbB2 and the p53 tumor suppressor protein. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
