Most of the cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and membranous positivity. Prostate cancers exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Nuclear staining was shown in squamous cell carcinomas and urothelial cancers. Gliomas, lymphomas, melanomas and testicular cancers were negative.
A few renal cancers showed strong membranous reactivity whilst other renal cancers were negative or weakly to moderately stained in a subset of cells. Most of the cases of lymphomas, melanoma, skin cancer, liver cancer and pancreatic cancer were negative. Remaining cancers showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and membranous staining.
Most cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and membranous immunoreactivity, with additional/or nuclear staining in few cases. Lymphomas, gliomas, melanomas, liver and stomach cancers were generally negative.

Ankyrin 3, node of Ranvier (ankyrin G) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Ankyrins are a family of proteins that are believed to link the integral membrane proteins to the underlying spectrin-actin cytoskeleton and play key roles in activities such as cell motility, activation, proliferation, contact, and the maintenance of specialized membrane domains. Multiple isoforms of ankyrin with different affinities for various target proteins are expressed in a tissue-specific, developmentally regulated manner. Most ankyrins are typically composed of three structural domains: an amino-terminal domain containing multiple ankyrin repeats; a central region with a highly conserved spectrin binding domain; and a carboxy-terminal regulatory domain which is the least conserved and subject to variation. Ankyrin 3 is an immunologically distinct gene product from ankyrins 1 and 2, and was originally found at the axonal initial segment and nodes of Ranvier of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
