Cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and membranous staining. Several cases of melanomas, colorectal, renal cancers along with rare cases of breast, prostate, ovarian, lung and urothelial cancers displayed strong positivity.
This gene encodes a member of the P-type lectin family. P-type lectins play a critical role in lysosome function through the specific transport of mannose-6-phosphate-containing acid hydrolases from the Golgi complex to lysosomes. The encoded protein functions as a homodimer and requires divalent cations for ligand binding. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
