Most cancer cells displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity with membranous staining in a few tissues. Most cases of the lymphomas and testicular cancers were negative.
Most cancer cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining with a granular pattern. Additional nuclear immunoreactivity in a few cases. A few cases of gastric and pancreatic cancers, cervical adenocarcinomas and breast cancers were strongly stained.

Description
Charged multivesicular body protein 2A (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
CHMP2A belongs to the chromatin-modifying protein/charged multivesicular body protein (CHMP) family. These proteins are components of ESCRT-III (endosomal sorting complex required for transport III), a complex involved in degradation of surface receptor proteins and formation of endocytic multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Some CHMPs have both nuclear and cytoplasmic/vesicular distributions, and one such CHMP, CHMP1A (MIM 164010), is required for both MVB formation and regulation of cell cycle progression (Tsang et al., 2006 [PubMed 16730941]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
