Colorectal cancers along with few cases of cervix cancers showed strong luminal membranous staining. Few cases of cholangiocarcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas of skin, lung and ovarian cancers along with several cases of pancreatic cancers showed moderate to strong positivity. Several cases of urothelial cancers showed additional cytoplasmic staining. Inflammatory cells were distinctly stained. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a peripheral membrane protein and is located in a region of chromosome 10q that contains a segmental duplication. This copy of the gene is full-length and is in the telomeric duplicated region. Two other more centromerically proximal copies of the gene are partial and may represent pseudogenes. This full-length gene appears to function in the establishment and maintenance of cell polarization. The protein is recruited to cell-cell junctions in an E-cadherin-dependent manner, and is selectively localized at the basolateral membrane in polarized epithelial cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
