A few cases of pancreatic and liver cancers as well as basal cells carcinomas in skin showed moderate cytoplasmic staining. The remaining malignancies were generally negative or weakly stained.
A few skin, pancreatic, ovarian and stomach cancers showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and membranous positivity. A few cases of urothelial, renal, cervical and endometrial cancers showed moderate nuclear positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.

Synonyms
APOL
Description
Apolipoprotein L, 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a secreted high density lipoprotein which binds to apolipoprotein A-I. Apolipoprotein A-I is a relatively abundant plasma protein and is the major apoprotein of HDL. It is involved in the formation of most cholesteryl esters in plasma and also promotes efflux of cholesterol from cells. This apolipoprotein L family member may play a role in lipid exchange and transport throughout the body, as well as in reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral cells to the liver. Several different transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]
