Orderable Test Description
P120 Catenin is a tyrosine kinase which binds to E-cadherin within the cell membrane. It is detectable in the cell membranes of a wide variety of cells, but predominates in virtually all types of epithelia. When E-cadherin is absent, P120ctn moves to the cell cytoplasm. P120ctn can be useful in the diagnostic distinction between lobular (cytoplasmic staining pattern) and ductal (membranous) breast neoplasia.
