Most of the tumour cells displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Cases of papillary adenocarcinomas of thyroid, colorectal, breast, endometrial and gastric cancers displayed strong immunoreactivity. A majority of gliomas, skin, renal, pancreatic and testicular cancers were weakly stained or negative.
This gene encodes an enzyme that belongs to a conserved family of serine/threonine protein kinases. Members of this dual specificity kinase family are thought to function in the regulation of cell differentiation and proliferation, survival, and in development. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Additional alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known.
