Most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Gliomas, lymphomas and testicular cancers were in general weakly stained or negative.
Most cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. A few cases of endometrial cancers were strongly strained. Several testicular cancers were negative.
Moderate to strong cytoplasmic and membranous staining was seen in most cancer tissues. Several testicular cancers and few squamous cell carcinomas were weakly stained or negative.
Most cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining, with additional membranous positivity in some cases. Several cases of testis cancer were negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a type 1 transmembrane protein that mediates Ca2+ influx after depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores by gating of store-operated Ca2+ influx channels (SOCs). It is one of several genes located in the imprinted gene domain of 11p15.5, an important tumor-suppressor gene region. Alterations in this region have been associated with the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Wilms tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, adrenocrotical carcinoma, and lung, ovarian, and breast cancer. This gene may play a role in malignancies and disease that involve this region, as well as early hematopoiesis, by mediating attachment to stromal cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with fatal classic Kaposi sarcoma, immunodeficiency due to defects in store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) in fibroblasts, ectodermal dysplasia and tubular aggregate myopathy. This gene is oriented in a head-to-tail configuration with the ribonucleotide reductase 1 gene (RRM1), with the 3' end of this gene situated 1.6 kb from the 5' end of the RRM1 gene. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
