A majority of malignant cells showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity with a granular pattern. Most malignant lymphomas and squamous cell carcinomas were weakly stained or negative.
Strong cytoplasmic staining in almost all malignant cells. Malignant gliomas and lymphomas were mainly moderately stained.

Description
Cholinergic receptor, muscarinic 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The muscarinic cholinergic receptors belong to a larger family of G protein-coupled receptors. The functional diversity of these receptors is defined by the binding of acetylcholine to these receptors and includes cellular responses such as adenylate cyclase inhibition, phosphoinositide degeneration, and potassium channel mediation. Muscarinic receptors influence many effects of acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous system. The muscarinic cholinergic receptor 2 is involved in mediation of bradycardia and a decrease in cardiac contractility. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
