Most of the cancer tissues showed moderate positivity. Thyroid papillary adenocarcinomas, carcinoids and a few cases of ovarian and endometrial cancers showed strong staining. Several cases of prostate and renal cancers were weakly stained or negative.
Cancer tissues generally showed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Prostate cancers showed additional nuclear staining. Many lymphomas, melanomas, squamous cell carcinomas and renal cancers were negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an aminotransferase that transaminates kynurenine to form kynurenic acid. Kynurenic acid is a metabolite of tryptophan. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been described for this gene. This gene shares 5' exon structure with the RNA binding motif protein, X-linked-like 1 locus on chromosome 1, but the coding sequences are non-overlapping. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]
