Most cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic staining, often with positivity in nuclear membranes. Gliomas and renal cancers were strongly stained. Few cases of cervical cancers were weakly stained.
Most malignant cells displayed strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity.

Description
Calnexin (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the calnexin family of molecular chaperones. The encoded protein is a calcium-binding, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein that interacts transiently with newly synthesized N-linked glycoproteins, facilitating protein folding and assembly. It may also play a central role in the quality control of protein folding by retaining incorrectly folded protein subunits within the ER for degradation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
