Most of the cancer cells showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Several lymphomas, skin, testis and renal cancers were weakly stained or negative.
Thyroid cancers and cases of pancreatic cancers showed strong staining. Colorectal, gastric and liver cancers and several cancer types showed moderate immunoreactivity. Cancer cells in general were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Coatomer protein complex, subunit epsilon (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The product of this gene is an epsilon subunit of coatomer protein complex. Coatomer is a cytosolic protein complex that binds to dilysine motifs and reversibly associates with Golgi non-clathrin-coated vesicles. It is required for budding from Golgi membranes, and is essential for the retrograde Golgi-to-ER transport of dilysine-tagged proteins. Coatomer complex consists of at least the alpha, beta, beta', gamma, delta, epsilon and zeta subunits. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
