In healthy tissues, seen in the top two panels here, TYK2 (green) is found on the cell membrane and colocalizes with E-cadherin (red), a protein helps that maintain cellular adhesion and tissue integrity. In tumors, shown in the bottom two panels, TYK2 is spread throughout the cell and no longer colocalizes with E-cadherin. This phenomenon allows cancer cells to more easily spread.
