Antibody staining not consistent with RNA expression data. Presumed off target binding observed and disregarded. External characterization data supports antibody staining.
Several pancreatic, gastric, lung, endometrial, cervical and ovarian cancers showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Remaining malignancies were negative.

Description
C-type lectin domain family 4, member A (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. Members of this family share a common protein fold and have diverse functions, such as cell adhesion, cell-cell signalling, glycoprotein turnover, and roles in inflammation and immune response. The encoded type 2 transmembrane protein may play a role in inflammatory and immune response. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. This gene is closely linked to other CTL/CTLD superfamily members on chromosome 12p13 in the natural killer gene complex region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
