Cytoplasmic expression in ciliated cells in respirtatory epithelia and fallopian tube, additional cytoplasmic expression in endometrium.
ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Antibody staining consistent with RNA expression data. Caution, targets protein from more than one gene. Protein expression in respiratory epithelia can be correlated with lung RNA-seq data.
A few cases of prostate and ovarian cancer displayed strong cytoplasmic staining in a fraction of tumor cells. Remaining cancer tissues along with stromal cells were negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a calcium-binding protein, which may play a role in the regulation of ion transport. A similar protein was first described as a potentially important regulatory protein in the dog thyroid and was termed as R2D5 antigen in rabbit. Alternative splicing of this gene generates two transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
