Moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity was observed in several gliomas, endometrial, testicular and ovarian cancers along with few colorectal and pancreatic cancers. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
Moderate to strong membranous and cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in most testicular cancer as well as cases of endometrial cancers, squamous cell carcinomas and high grade gliomas. Malignant cells in general were negative.
Strong cytoplasmic and luminal membranous positivity was observed in fraction of cells in endometrial and testicular cancers. A few gliomas and pancreatic cancers exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Adenocarcinoma of head & neck cancer and a few ovarian cancers showed strong luminal membranous staining. Remaining cancer tissues were mainly negative.
Moderate to strong luminal membranous staining was observed in several ovarian, endometrial and a few testicular cancers. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
Most cases of endometrial and ovarian cancers, several cases of embryonal carcinomas of testis, duct carcinomas of breast and pancreatic cancers along with rare cases of liver cancers exhibited moderate to strong membranous immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the sialomucin protein family. The encoded protein was originally identified as an important component of glomerular podocytes. Podocytes are highly differentiated epithelial cells with interdigitating foot processes covering the outer aspect of the glomerular basement membrane. Other biological activities of the encoded protein include: binding in a membrane protein complex with Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor to intracellular cytoskeletal elements, playing a role in hematopoetic cell differentiation, and being expressed in vascular endothelium cells and binding to L-selectin.
