Most cancer cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Strong immunoreactivity was observed in several cases of lymphomas and a few cases of ovarian and skin cancer. Prostate, testicular, renal and lung cancers were mainly negative.
Most cancer cells showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Prostate cancer and most cases of ovarian, endometrial, testicular, renal, gastric and liver cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Optineurin (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes the coiled-coil containing protein optineurin. Optineurin may play a role in normal-tension glaucoma and adult-onset primary open angle glaucoma. Optineurin interacts with adenovirus E3-14.7K protein and may utilize tumor necrosis factor-alpha or Fas-ligand pathways to mediate apoptosis, inflammation or vasoconstriction. Optineurin may also function in cellular morphogenesis and membrane trafficking, vesicle trafficking, and transcription activation through its interactions with the RAB8, huntingtin, and transcription factor IIIA proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
