A few cases of urothelial, liver and breast cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity while moderate to strong membranous immunoreactivity was seen in occasional cases of pancreatic cancers. Remaining malignant tissues were negative.

Description
Solute carrier family 26 (anion exchanger), member 9 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is one member of a family of sulfate/anion transporter genes. Family members are well conserved in their genomic (number and size of exons) and protein (aa length among species) structures yet have markedly different tissue expression patterns. The product of this gene is a highly selective chloride ion channel regulated by WNK kinases. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding differing isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]
