Most malignant tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining which in some cells was combined with membranous positivity. A few renal cell carcinomas, prostate, ovarian and testicular cancer exhibited strong immunoreactivity. Skin and lung cancers, as well as malignant melanomas, carcinoids and gliomas were generally negative.
This gene encodes a member of the cyclophilin family. Cyclophilins catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of peptidylprolyl imide bonds in oligopeptides. They have been proposed to act either as catalysts or as molecular chaperones in protein-folding events. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
