Most renal cell carcinomas and hepatocellular carcinomas along with a few malignant melanomas, pancreatic, breast, prostate, urothothelial and lung cancers displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Other malignant cells were in general weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the formation of acyl-CoA from fatty acids, ATP, and CoA, using magnesium as a cofactor. The encoded protein plays a major role in fatty acid metabolism in the brain. Translocations with the ETV6 gene are causes of myelodysplastic syndrome with basophilia, acute myelogenous leukemia with eosinophilia, and acute eosinophilic leukemia. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011]
