Cancer tissues displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining with additional nuclear and membranous positivity in several tissues. A majority of gliomas, lymphomas and renal cancers were negative.
Several cases of breast, colorectal, ovarian, pancreatic and liver cancers along with few cases of melanomas, lung, urothelial and stomach cancers displayed moderate membranous and cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Protocadherin 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene belongs to the protocadherin subfamily within the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein is a membrane protein found at cell-cell boundaries. It is involved in neural cell adhesion, suggesting a possible role in neuronal development. The protein includes an extracelllular region, containing 7 cadherin-like domains, a transmembrane region and a C-terminal cytoplasmic region. Cells expressing the protein showed cell aggregation activity. Alternative splicing occurs in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
