Cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity with additional membranous or nuclear staining in few cases. Rare cases of gliomas, melanomas, colorectal and pancreatic cancers were strongly stained. Several cases of gliomas, lymphomas, cervical, skin and renal cancers were negative.
A majority of cancers showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity.

Autophagy related 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a ubiquitin-like-conjugating enzyme and is a component of ubiquitination-like systems involved in autophagy, the process of degradation, turnover and recycling of cytoplasmic constituents in eukaryotic cells. This protein is known to play a role in regulation of autophagy during cell death. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 20. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
