A few cases of melanomas showed strong cytoplasmic and membranous staining while gliomas along with a subset of cells in cases of thyroid and urothelial cancers displayed strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancers were negative.

Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene functions to recycle protein-bound biotin by cleaving biocytin (biotin-epsilon-lysine), a normal product of carboxylase degradation, resulting in regeneration of free biotin. The encoded protein has also been shown to have biotinyl transferase activity. Mutations in this gene are associated with biotinidase deficiency. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
