Our recent paper described diffuse immunoreactivity of AQP3 in a wide variety of human tissues such as squamous cell carcinoma of skin, esophagus and endometrial cervix, urothelial carcinoma, salivary carcinoma, etc. Medullary thyroid carcinomas have also been reported as positive for AQP3 [39]. The gene discussed is AQP3; the disease is medullary thyroid gland carcinoma.
