Most cancers exhibited weak to moderate nuclear and nucleolar positivity. Rare cervical cancer showed strong cytoplasmic and membranous positivity. Rare cases of liver and colorectal cancers showed strong cytoplasmic positivity. Prostate, skin and renal cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Neuregulin 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a novel member of the neuregulin family of growth and differentiation factors. Through interaction with the ERBB family of receptors, this protein induces the growth and differentiation of epithelial, neuronal, glial, and other types of cells. The gene consists of 12 exons and the genomic structure is similar to that of neuregulin 1, another member of the neuregulin family of ligands. The products of these genes mediate distinct biological processes by acting at different sites in tissues and eliciting different biological responses in cells. This gene is located close to the region for demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease locus, but is not responsible for this disease. Alternative transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
