Malignant tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and occasional nuclear positivity. Few cases of ovarian and gastric cancers exhibited strong staining.

Description
Carbonic anhydrase VII (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Carbonic anhydrases are a large family of zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. They participate in a variety of biological processes, including respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, bone resorption, and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and gastric acid. They show extensive diversity in tissue distribution and in their subcellular localization. The cytosolic protein encoded by this gene is predominantly expressed in the salivary glands. Alternative splicing in the coding region results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
