Weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear staining was observed in malignant tissues. Thyroid cancers showed strong cytoplasmic staining while occasional cases of duct carcinomas of breast displayed additional strong nuclear positivity. Lymphomas, skin, testicular, urothelial, pancreatic, renal and gastric cancers were mainly negative.
Cancer tissues showed moderate cytoplasmic and membranous staining. Few cases of duct carcinomas of breast, basal cell carcinomas of skin, seminomas, colorectal, cervix and endometrial cancers displayed strong positivity.

Entrez gene summary
The P-type adenosinetriphosphatases (P-type ATPases) are a family of proteins which use the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to drive uphill transport of ions across membranes. Several subfamilies of P-type ATPases have been identified. One subfamily catalyzes transport of heavy metal ions. Another subfamily transports non-heavy metal ions (NMHI). The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the third subfamily of P-type ATPases and acts to transport amphipaths, such as phosphatidylserine. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
