Few cases of glioma, colorectal, ovarian and endometrial cancers displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. A rare case of carcinoid and pancreatic cancer were strongly stained. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
Most cancer cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity with additional membranous or nuclear staining in a few cases. A few cases of cholangiocarcinomas, cervical and endometrial cancers were strongly stained.

Sialidase 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of glycohydrolytic enzymes, which remove terminal sialic acid residues from various sialo derivatives, such as glycoproteins, glycolipids, oligosaccharides, and gangliosides. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
