Most cancer cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Several cases of hepatocellular carcinomas were strongly stained. Lymphomas and carcinoids were generally negative.
A majority of cancers displayed weak cytoplasmic positivity. A few cases of lung, colorectal, renal and gastric cancers displayed moderate immunoreactivity.
This gene encodes a member of the ephrin (EPH) family. The ephrins and EPH-related receptors comprise the largest subfamily of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases and have been implicated in mediating developmental events, especially in the nervous system and in erythropoiesis. Based on their structures and sequence relationships, ephrins are divided into the ephrin-A (EFNA) class, which are anchored to the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage, and the ephrin-B (EFNB) class, which are transmembrane proteins. This gene encodes an EFNB class ephrin which binds to the EPHB4 and EPHA3 receptors. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
