Thyroid cancers along with a few cases of malignant melanomas, lung, pancreatic and liver cancers displayed moderate cytoplasmic and/or nuclear positivity. Remaining tumors were weakly stained or negative.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Ly6/uPAR family but lacks a GPI-anchoring signal sequence. It is thought that this secreted protein contains antitumor activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Mal de Meleda, a rare autosomal recessive skin disorder. This gene maps to the same chromosomal region as several members of the Ly6/uPAR family of glycoprotein receptors. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
