A majority of cancer tissues showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. A few colorectal and duct carcinomas of breast were strongly stained. Liver cancers were in general negative.

Description
Exocyst complex component 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the exocyst complex, a multiple protein complex essential for targeting exocytic vesicles to specific docking sites on the plasma membrane. Though best characterized in yeast, the component proteins and functions of the exocyst complex have been demonstrated to be highly conserved in higher eukaryotes. At least eight components of the exocyst complex, including this protein, are found to interact with the actin cytoskeletal remodeling and vesicle transport machinery. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
