Moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in a few cases of melanomas, urothelial, breast, prostate, ovarian and testicular cancers. Remaining cancer cells were weakly stained or negative.
Most cancer cells showed weak cytoplasmic positivity or were negative. Several cases of colorectal, breast, prostate, testicular, urothelial and pancreatic cancers were moderately stained.

Description
Syntaxin 16 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the syntaxin or t-SNARE (target-SNAP receptor) family. These proteins are found on cell membranes and serve as the targets for V-SNARES (vesicle-SNAP receptors) permitting specific synaptic vesicle docking and fusion. A microdeletion in the region of chromosome 20 where this gene is located has been associated with pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ib. Multiple transcript variants have been found for this gene. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the neighboring downstream aminopeptidase-like 1 (NPEPL1) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
