Most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong membrane positivity, additional cytoplasmic positivity in several cancers. Gliomas and lymphomas were negative.
Moderate to strong membranous staining of most cancer tissues. Gliomas, lymphomas, renal cancers and most melanomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION

Description
Cadherin 1, type 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a classical cadherin of the cadherin superfamily. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature glycoprotein. This calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion protein is comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. Mutations in this gene are correlated with gastric, breast, colorectal, thyroid and ovarian cancer. Loss of function of this gene is thought to contribute to cancer progression by increasing proliferation, invasion, and/or metastasis. The ectodomain of this protein mediates bacterial adhesion to mammalian cells and the cytoplasmic domain is required for internalization. This gene is present in a gene cluster with other members of the cadherin family on chromosome 16. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
