Most cancer cells were negative. Lymphomas, colorectal, cervical and liver cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear staining in a fraction of cells.

TRKC
Description
Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor, type 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) family. This kinase is a membrane-bound receptor that, upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. Signalling through this kinase leads to cell differentiation and may play a role in the development of proprioceptive neurons that sense body position. Mutations in this gene have been associated with medulloblastomas, secretory breast carcinomas and other cancers. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
