Nuclear expression most abundant in germinal center cells and in a subset of cells in several tissues including squamous epithelia, cells in seminiferous ducts and the gastrointestinal tract.
ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Antibody staining mainly consistent with RNA expression data. Presumed off target binding observed and disregarded.
Most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong nuclear and/or cytoplasmic membranous staining in fraction of cells. Carcinoid and renal cancers were negative.
Weak to moderate nuclear positivity was observed in most cancer tissues. Thyroid cancers exhibited moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Endometrial, renal, pancreatic and liver cancers were mostly negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a nuclear protein that is associated with and may be necessary for cellular proliferation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. A related pseudogene exists on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
