ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
RNA-based expert annotation gave inconclusive results. No RNA expression data detected and pending external verification. Secreted protein, tissue location of RNA and protein might differ and correlation is complex.
Most malignant cells were negative. Few cases of malignant carcinoids, papillary adenocarcinoma of thyroid and lung cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity.

DEFB-16
Description
Defensin, beta 116 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Defensins form a family of antimicrobial and cytotoxic peptides made by neutrophils. Defensins are short, processed peptide molecules that are classified by structure into three groups: alpha-defensins, beta-defensins and theta-defensins. All beta-defensin genes are densely clustered in four to five syntenic chromosomal regions. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
