Most cancer tissues showed strong nuclear immunoreactivity. Hepatocellular carcinomas displayed weak to moderate staining pattern while cholangiocarcinomas showed strong immunoreactivity.
Cancer tissues displayed moderate nuclear and slightly weaker cytoplasmic staining. Strong positivity was observed in several cases of glioma and melanoma.

Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of a phylogenetically conserved family of genes that share a common DNA-binding domain, the T-box. T-box genes encode transcription factors involved in the regulation of developmental processes. This gene product is the human homolog of mouse Tbx2, and shares strong sequence similarity with Drosophila omb protein. Expression studies indicate that this gene may have a potential role in tumorigenesis as an immortalizing agent. Transcript heterogeneity due to alternative polyadenylation has been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
