Majority of the prostate cancers along with few cases of gliomas displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Rare cases of breast, cervical, lung, skin and testicular cancers were moderately positive. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
Several colorectal cancers as well as cases of gliomas and lymphomas displayed moderate to strong positivity. Melanomas, endometrial, renal and liver cancers were negative in many cases.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes one of two non-identical subunits that constitute ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase, an enzyme essential for the production of deoxyribonucleotides prior to DNA synthesis in S phase of dividing cells. It is one of several genes located in the imprinted gene domain of 11p15.5, an important tumor-suppressor gene region. Alterations in this region have been associated with the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Wilms tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, adrenocrotical carcinoma, and lung, ovarian, and breast cancer. This gene may play a role in malignancies and disease that involve this region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
