Malignant cells displayed moderate nuclear positivity. Additional cytoplasmic staining was observed in malignant melanomas, breast, endometrial, liver and prostate cancers. A few cases of ovarian and cervical cancers exhibited strong staining. Several testicular cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an ankyrin repeat protein that belongs to the death receptor-associated family of proteins and plays a role in mediating apoptosis. The encoded protein is also thought to function in the replication stress-induced checkpoint signaling pathway via interaction with checkpoint kinase 1. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
