Several ovarian, cervical, head-neck and urothelial cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic staining. Strong staining was observed in several malignant lymphomas. Remaining malignancies were in general weakly stained or negative.

Description
Protein kinase D2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the protein kinase D (PKD) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. This kinase can be activated by phorbol esters as well as by gastrin via the cholecystokinin B receptor (CCKBR) in gastric cancer cells. It can bind to diacylglycerol (DAG) in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and may regulate basolateral membrane protein exit from TGN. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
