Most cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Lymphomas, several gliomas, liver, skin and cervical cancers were in general weakly stained or negative.
Weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining was observed in most cancers. Adenocarcinomas generally showed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Squamous cell cancers were negative or weakly positive.

Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a peripheral membrane protein which recycles between the cytosol and the Golgi apparatus during interphase. It is regulated by phosphorylation: dephosphorylated protein associates with the Golgi membrane and dissociates from the membrane upon phosphorylation. Ras-associated protein 1 recruits this protein to coat protein complex II (COPII) vesicles during budding from the endoplasmic reticulum, where it interacts with a set of COPII vesicle-associated SNAREs to form a cis-SNARE complex that promotes targeting to the Golgi apparatus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
