Several cases of basal cell carcinomas showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Several cases of seminomas, colorectal cancers, gliomas and melanomas showed moderate nuclear staining. Remaining cancer tissues were in general weakly stained or negative.
Weak to moderate dot like staining in most malignant tissues. Strongest staining in malignancies of colorectal, breast, prostate, endometrial and stomach origin.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a cell surface protein that is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The encoded protein consists of four N-terminal immunoglobulin-like domains, six fibronectin type III domains, a transmembrane domain and a C-terminal internal domain that shares homology with the tumor suppressor candidate gene DCC. This protein may be involved in cell growth and differentiation and in cell-cell adhesion. Defects in this gene are associated with cell proliferation in certain cancers. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]
