Cancer tissues showed weak to moderate granular cytoplasmic positivity. Gliomas, lymphomas, melanomas, renal cell carcinomas, liver cancers, head and neck cancers were generally negative.
Colorectal, several breast, ovarian, testicular, urothelial, stomach and pancreatic cancers along with a few cases of carcinoid and prostate cancer showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity, often with a granular pattern. Remaining cancer tissues were mainly negative.

Description
Charged multivesicular body protein 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
CHMP5 belongs to the chromatin-modifying protein/charged multivesicular body protein (CHMP) family. These proteins are components of ESCRT-III (endosomal sorting complex required for transport III), a complex involved in degradation of surface receptor proteins and formation of endocytic multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Some CHMPs have both nuclear and cytoplasmic/vesicular distributions, and one such CHMP, CHMP1A (MIM 164010), is required for both MVB formation and regulation of cell cycle progression (Tsang et al., 2006 [PubMed 16730941]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
