Most tumor cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Additional nuclear staining was observed in a few urothelial and liver cancers. A few prostate and pancreatic cancers were strongly stained. Most carcinoids, skin and testis cancers were negative.
The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the Hippo signaling pathway, which controls organ size and tumor growth by enhancing apoptosis. Loss of the encoded protein results in cell proliferation and cancer formation. The encoded protein is also involved in the control of microtubule stability during cytokinesis. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
