Cancer tissues displayed moderate to strong nuclear staining with additional cytoplasmic and/or membranous positivity in several tissues. Majority of the cases of malignant lymphomas, breast and prostate cancers were weakly stained or negative.
Most cancer tissues displayed weak cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Rare cases of breast cancers, renal cancers and gliomas displayed strong cytoplasmic staining with a granular pattern.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the tropomyosin family of actin-binding proteins involved in the contractile system of striated and smooth muscles and the cytoskeleton of non-muscle cells. Tropomyosins are dimers of coiled-coil proteins that polymerize end-to-end along the major groove in most actin filaments. They provide stability to the filaments and regulate access of other actin-binding proteins. In muscle cells, they regulate muscle contraction by controlling the binding of myosin heads to the actin filament. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
