Moderate to strong membranous positivity was observed in several colorectal cancers and a few cases of testis and urothelial cancers. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
Moderate membranous and cytoplasmic positivity was observed in a few colorectal and testis cancers. Subsets of immune cells were strongly stained. Most cancer tissues were negative.
A few cases of colorectal, testis and urothelial cancers showed moderate to strong membranous or cytoplasmic positivity. Tumor stroma was positive. Most cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
Focal adhesions are actin-rich structures that enable cells to adhere to the extracellular matrix and at which protein complexes involved in signal transduction assemble. Zyxin is a zinc-binding phosphoprotein that concentrates at focal adhesions and along the actin cytoskeleton. Zyxin has an N-terminal proline-rich domain and three LIM domains in its C-terminal half. The proline-rich domain may interact with SH3 domains of proteins involved in signal transduction pathways while the LIM domains are likely involved in protein-protein binding. Zyxin may function as a messenger in the signal transduction pathway that mediates adhesion-stimulated changes in gene expression and may modulate the cytoskeletal organization of actin bundles. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same isoform. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
