A few squamous cell carcinoma and breast cancer displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Moderate nucleolar staining was observed in a rare case each of melanoma and colorectal cancer. Remaining tumour cells were negative.
Few non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, hepatocellular carcinomas and ovarian cancers exhibited weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
This gene encodes a cytoskeletal protein found in neurons of the peripheral nervous system. The encoded protein is a type III intermediate filament protein with homology to other cytoskeletal proteins such as desmin, and is a different protein that the peripherin found in photoreceptors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with susceptibility to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
