Thyroid cancers showed moderate to strong staining while several prostate cancers as well as a few malignant gliomas, colorectal, prostate and pancreatic cancers displayed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining malignant tissues were in general negative.

Description
Neural EGFL like 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a glycoprotein containing several von Willebrand factor C domains and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains. The encoded protein acts as a homotrimer and is found in the cytoplasm. Several variants encoding a few different isoforms exist, and at least one isoform appears to be a secreted protein. Studies in mouse suggest that this protein plays a role in neural cell growth and differentiation as well as in oncogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
