Membranous expression in most cell types, including glandular cells, cells in seminiferous ducts, renal tubules, cardiac myocytes and vascular endothelium in the brain.
ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Antibody staining mainly consistent with RNA expression data.
Weak to moderate membranous immunoreactivity was displayed in most cancer tissues. Gliomas, carcinoids, lymphomas, melanomas, thyroid and stomach cancers along with several liver, breast and pancreatic cancers were negative.
Most malignant cells showed moderate to strong membranous and cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Several cases in most cancers as well as the majority of cases in malignant lymphomas an breast cancer were weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a plasma membrane protein that is important in spermatogenesis, embryo implantation, neural network formation, and tumor progression. The encoded protein is also a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
