Cancer cells showed weak to moderate membranous and cytoplasmic staining. A few cases of hepatocellular carcinomas, pancreatic and renal cancers displayed strong positivity. Gliomas and lymphomas were negative.
Most cancer cells showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Additional membranous positivity was observed in colorectal cancers along with a few cases of liver, pancreatic and stomach cancers. Lymphomas along with several cases of melanomas and testicular cancers were weakly stained or negative.
Most liver, renal, and ovarian cancers as well as fractions of cases in a majority of the remaining cancers were moderately stained. Cancer cells in general displayed weak cytoplasmic positivity or were negative.
This gene encodes a peptidoglycan recognition protein, which belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family. This protein hydrolyzes the link between N-acetylmuramoyl residues and L-amino acid residues in bacterial cell wall glycopeptides, and thus may play a scavenger role by digesting biologically active peptidoglycan into biologically inactive fragments.
