Strong cytoplasmic staining was observed in gliomas. Several cases of colorectal, breast and testicular cancer were moderately stained. Other cancers were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name

Description
Reticulon 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene belongs to the family of reticulon encoding genes. Reticulons are associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, and are involved in neuroendocrine secretion or in membrane trafficking in neuroendocrine cells. The product of this gene is a potent neurite outgrowth inhibitor which may also help block the regeneration of the central nervous system in higher vertebrates. Alternatively spliced transcript variants derived both from differential splicing and differential promoter usage and encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
