Most cancers displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Papillary adenocarcinomas in the thyroid and several cases of gliomas showed strong staining. Most squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas were negative.

Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene was originally identified as an ovarian tumor antigen monitored in ovarian cancer. The encoded protein contains a B-box/coiled-coil motif, which is present in many genes with transformation potential. It functions as a specific autophagy receptor for the selective autophagic degradation of peroxisomes by forming intracellular inclusions with ubiquitylated autophagic substrates. This gene is located on a region of chromosome 17q21.1 that is in close proximity to the BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
