Lymphomas showed strong cytoplasmic positivity in a majority of cases. Malignant cells in general displayed weak to moderate immunoreactivity. Several cases of squamous cells carcinomas, renal cancers and gliomas were negative.

Description
Capping protein (actin filament) muscle Z-line, beta (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes the beta subunit of the barbed-end actin binding protein, which belongs to the F-actin capping protein family. The capping protein is a heterodimeric actin capping protein that blocks actin filament assembly and disassembly at the fast growing (barbed) filament ends and functions in regulating actin filament dynamics as well as in stabilizing actin filament lengths in muscle and nonmuscle cells. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 2. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
