A majority of cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and membranous immunoreactivity. Several lymphomas and gliomas were negative, however, distinct positivity was observed in neuropil.

Description
Tyrosine kinase 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the tyrosine kinase and, more specifically, the Janus kinases (JAKs) protein families. This protein associates with the cytoplasmic domain of type I and type II cytokine receptors and promulgate cytokine signals by phosphorylating receptor subunits. It is also component of both the type I and type III interferon signaling pathways. As such, it may play a role in anti-viral immunity. A mutation in this gene has been associated with hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES) - a primary immunodeficiency characterized by elevated serum immunoglobulin E. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
