Weak to moderate cytoplasmic and occasional membranous and extracellular positivity was observed in cancer tissues. Several cases of colorectal and a few endometrial cancers were strongly positive. Urothelial cancers, lymphomas and gliomas were generally negative. Cancer stroma and plasma was distinctly stained.
Weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was displayed in most cancers.

Description
Tubulin folding cofactor E (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Cofactor E is one of four proteins (cofactors A, D, E, and C) involved in the pathway leading to correctly folded beta-tubulin from folding intermediates. Cofactors A and D are believed to play a role in capturing and stabilizing beta-tubulin intermediates in a quasi-native confirmation. Cofactor E binds to the cofactor D/beta-tubulin complex; interaction with cofactor C then causes the release of beta-tubulin polypeptides that are committed to the native state. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
