Most of the cancer cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Several pancreatic cancers were strongly stained. Gliomas, lymphomas, skin and testis cancers along with several cervical cancers were negative.

Description
Transmembrane channel-like 8 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is an autosomal recessive dermatosis characterized by abnormal susceptibility to human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and a high rate of progression to squamous cell carcinoma on sun-exposed skin. EV is caused by mutations in either of two adjacent genes located on chromosome 17q25.3. Both of these genes encode integral membrane proteins that localize to the endoplasmic reticulum and are predicted to form transmembrane channels. This gene encodes a transmembrane channel-like protein with 8 predicted transmembrane domains and 3 leucine zipper motifs. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
