Most cancer tissues were negative. A few gilomas, lymphomas and renal cancers displayed moderate to weak cytoplasmic and membranous staining. Nucleolar staining was observed in a few testicular cancers.

Dopamine receptor D2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes the D2 subtype of the dopamine receptor. This G-protein coupled receptor inhibits adenylyl cyclase activity. A missense mutation in this gene causes myoclonus dystonia; other mutations have been associated with schizophrenia. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. A third variant has been described, but it has not been determined whether this form is normal or due to aberrant splicing. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
