Several cases of malignant lymphomas showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining in a fraction of the tumor cells. Remaining malignant cells were negative.
Moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in a fraction of cells in malignant gliomas. Occasional case of malignant lymphoma and melanoma were strongly stained. Remaining malignant cells were negative.
This gene encodes an integrin beta chain, which combines with multiple different alpha chains to form different integrin heterodimers. Integrins are integral cell-surface proteins that participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signalling. The encoded protein plays an important role in immune response and defects in this gene cause leukocyte adhesion deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
