Cancer cells generally showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Most gliomas and renal cancer as well as several cases of lymphomas, basal cell carcinomas and cervical squamous cell carcinomas displayed weak staining or were negative.
Cancer cells displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Additional membranous positivity was observed in a few tissues.

Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the derlin family. Members of this family participate in the ER-associated degradation response and retrotranslocate misfolded or unfolded proteins from the ER lumen to the cytosol for proteasomal degradation. This protein recognizes substrate in the ER and works in a complex to retrotranslocate it across the ER membrane into the cytosol. This protein may select cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR) for degradation as well as unfolded proteins in Alzheimer's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
