Most cancers were weak to moderate cytoplasmic and membranous positivity. Additional nuclear positivity was seen in ovarian, urothelial head and neck cancers. A single case of melanoma showed strong nuclear positivity. Renal cell carcinomas, liver cancers, lymphomas and gliomas were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Thioredoxin interacting protein (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a thioredoxin-binding protein that is a member of the alpha arrestin protein family. Thioredoxin is a thiol-oxidoreductase that is a major regulator of cellular redox signaling which protects cells from oxidative stress. This protein inhibits the antioxidative function of thioredoxin resulting in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and cellular stress. This protein also functions as a regulator of cellular metabolism and of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. This protein may also function as a tumor suppressor. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
