Most cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity, with a granular pattern, often combined with nuclear staining. Cases of strong positivity was observed in gliomas, melanomas and colorectal cancers.
Most of the cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity with a granular pattern. Thyroid cancers and a few cases of gliomas and renal cancers showed strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Several lymphomas, lung and gastric cancers were weakly stained or negative.

BNIP3a, Nix
Description
BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19kDa interacting protein 3-like (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the pro-apoptotic subfamily within the Bcl-2 family of proteins. The encoded protein binds to Bcl-2 and possesses the BH3 domain. The protein directly targets mitochondria and causes apoptotic changes, including loss of membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]
