Melanomas displayed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity while colorectal cancers and fractions of ovarian, endometrial, urothelial, gastric and pancreatic cancers showed moderate to strong luminal membrane staining. Remaining cancer cells were in general negative.
Rare case of endometrial and liver cancer displayed strong cytoplasmic positivity. Occasional cases of endometrial, colorectal, pancreatic, breast, prostate, skin and testicular cancer were moderately stained. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
A few basal cell carcinomas of skin displayed moderate cytoplasmic and membranous staining. Remaining cancer cells were weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
Synaptopodin is an actin-associated protein that may play a role in actin-based cell shape and motility. The name synaptopodin derives from the protein's associations with postsynaptic densities and dendritic spines and with renal podocytes (Mundel et al., 1997 [PubMed 9314539]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
