A majority of cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity with a granular pattern. A few cases of prostate cancer were strongly stained. Most lymphomas, squamous cell carcinomas, endometrial, thyroid, urothelial and renal cancers were negative.
Most cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and/or nuclear positivity. Additional membranous staining was observed in renal and urothelial cancers.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a hydrolase that degrades glycosaminoglycans, including heparan sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and chondroitin-4,6-sulfate. The enzyme forms a homotetramer that is localized to the lysosome. Mutations in this gene result in mucopolysaccharidosis type VII. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. There are many pseudogenes of this locus in the human genome.[provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
