Several colorectal cancers, few lymphomas, pancreatic cancers along with occasional seminomas, stomach and endometrial cancers showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Other malignant tissues were negative.
Testis cancers along with few cases of adenocarcinomas of lung, gliomas and endometrial cancers showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Several cases of renal cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and membranous positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a type I transmembrane protein, belonging to the CD2 subfamily of the immunoglobulin superfamily. This encoded protein is expressed on Natural killer (NK), T, and B lymphocytes. It undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation and associates with the Src homology 2 domain-containing protein (SH2D1A) as well as with SH2 domain-containing phosphatases (SHPs). It functions as a coreceptor in the process of NK cell activation. It can also mediate inhibitory signals in NK cells from X-linked lymphoproliferative patients. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
