Most cancer tissues displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Skin and renal cancers along with several lymphomas, gastric and lung cancers were weakly stained.
Most cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Several hepatocellular, colorectal, endometrial and breast cancers along with a few prostate cancers showed strong staining. A majority of lymphomas were negative.
This gene encodes a protein involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation. The encoded protein removes unfolded proteins, accumulated during ER stress, by retrograde transport to the cytosol from the ER. This protein also uses the ubiquitin-proteasome system for additional degradation of unfolded proteins. Sequence analysis identified two transcript variants that encode different isoforms.
