Strong and granular cytoplasmic staining was seen in many malignant gliomas. Strong and rare dot-like cytoplasmic staining was seen in malignant lymphomas. A few cases of testicular and renal cancers showed distinct cytoplasmic positivity. Virtually no staining in other malignancies.
GM2 and GD2 gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids. GalNAc-T is the enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of G(M2) and G(D2) glycosphingolipids. GalNAc-T catalyzes the transfer of GalNAc into G(M3) and G(D3) by a beta-1,4 linkage, resulting in the synthesis of G(M2) and G(D2), respectively. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013]
