Most cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity with a granular pattern. Several hepatocellular carcinomas, colorectal cancers, papillary adenocarcinomas of thyroid along, a few lymphomas and gastric cancers were strongly stained. Several gliomas were weakly stained or negative.

Lactamase, beta (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a mitochondrially-localized protein that has sequence similarity to prokaryotic beta-lactamases. Many of the residues responsible for beta-lactamase activity are not conserved in this protein, suggesting it may have a different enzymatic function. Increased expression of the related mouse gene was found to be associated with obesity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms.
