Moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in a few cases of melanomas, prostate, pancreatic, liver and renal cancers. A single case of ovarian, glioma and hepatocellular carcinoma showed strong nuclear membrane positivity in a fraction of cells. Most remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or generally negative.
Strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was exhibited in few cases of liver cancers. Few malignant gliomas displayed moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear staining. Remaining cancer tissue were weakly stained or negative.
The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that may be present in the Golgi apparatus. The encoded protein, which is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29, may be involved in the synthesis of gangliosides GD1c, GT1a, GQ1b, and GT3 from GD1a, GT1b, GM1b, and GD3, respectively.
