Antibody staining mainly not consistent with RNA expression data. Secreted protein, tissue location of RNA and protein might differ and correlation is complex. Pending external verification.
Most malignant cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity with additional nuclear and/or membranous staining in several cases. Malignant lymphoma, malignant glioma, prostate and skin cancers were generally negative.
Most malignant cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. The majority of malignant lymphomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CNTN5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
hNB-2, NB-2
Description
Contactin 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, and contactin family, which mediate cell surface interactions during nervous system development. This protein is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored neuronal membrane protein that functions as a cell adhesion molecule. It may play a role in the formation of axon connections in the developing nervous system. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
