Moderate to strong cytoplasmic and occasional nuclear staining was observed in renal and prostate cancers along with several gliomas, melanomas and liver cancers. Colorectal and skin cancers as well as several pancreatic, thyroid and cervical cancers were moderately stained. Remaining cancers were in general weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
The uronate cycle functions as an alternative glucose metabolic pathway, accounting for about 5% of daily glucose catabolism. The product of this gene catalyzes the dehydrogenation of L-gulonate into dehydro-L-gulonate in the uronate cycle. The enzyme requires NAD(H) as a coenzyme, and is inhibited by inorganic phosphate. A similar gene in the rabbit is thought to serve a structural role in the lens of the eye. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
