Strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in a majority of gliomas. Prostate and colorectal cancers along with a few cases of melanomas, squamous cell carcinomas, ovarian, breast and urothelial cancers were moderately stained. Remaining cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene is one of eight which have been associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). Also referred to as Batten disease, NCL comprises a class of autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorders affecting children. The genes responsible likely encode proteins involved in the degradation of post-translationally modified proteins in lysosomes. The primary defect in NCL disorders is thought to be associated with lysosomal storage function.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
