Most malignant tissues exhibited moderate to strong nuclear and/or cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Several cases of malignant gliomas and renal cancers were weakly stained or negative.
A majority of malignancies showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining combined with cases of nuclear positivity. A majority of colorectal cancers as well as a few testicular and cervical cancers were strongly stained. Several liver and renal cancers were negative.
Most malignant tissues displayed weak to moderate nuclear positivity. A few cases of malignant melanomas and colorectal cancers showed strong positivity. Renal, gastric, pancreatic and liver cancers were negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein that plays a critical role in cell cycle regulation. The encoded protein inhibits DNA replication by binding to DNA replication factor Cdt1, preventing the incorporation of minichromosome maintenance proteins into the pre-replication complex. The encoded protein is expressed during the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle and is degraded by the anaphase-promoting complex during the metaphase-anaphase transition. Increased expression of this gene may play a role in several malignancies including colon, rectal and breast cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene, and two pseudogenes of this gene are located on the short arm of chromosome 16. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
