Several cases of ovarian and a few cases of testis, urothelial, gastric and thyroid carcinomas showed strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Dishevelled segment polarity protein 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the dishevelled (dsh) protein family. The vertebrate dsh proteins have approximately 40% amino acid sequence similarity with Drosophila dsh. This gene encodes a 90-kD protein that undergoes posttranslational phosphorylation to form a 95-kD cytoplasmic protein, which may play a role in the signal transduction pathway mediated by multiple Wnt proteins. The mechanisms of dishevelled function in Wnt signaling are likely to be conserved among metazoans. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
