Distinct nuclear immunoreactivity was observed in several cases of breast cancer, squamous cell carcinoma and testicular cancer. Most other cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity.
Several pancreatic cancer showed moderate cytoplasmic and membranous positivity. Several breast along with rare cases of cervical, colorectal, testis, skin cancers and melanoma showed moderate nuclear positivity. Prostate cancer showed moderate to strong positivity in some cases. Remaining cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) superfamily. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Two encoded proteins, described as major and minor isoforms, have been localized to distinct regions of the nucleus. The largest encoded protein (major isoform) has been localized to the nucleolus and shown to participate in ribosome biosynthesis (PMID: 15469983, 16782053), while the minor isoform has been localized to the nucleoplasmin.
