A few cases of urothelial and cervical cancers along with a rare case of skin cancer displayed strong cytoplasmic and membranous positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were generally negative.
Majority of cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Few hepatocellular carcinomas and rare cases of pancreatic cancers displayed strong staining. Breast, prostate, cervical, endometrial, urothelial and renal cancers were mainly negative.

Description
Apolipoprotein M (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is an apolipoprotein and member of the lipocalin protein family. It is found associated with high density lipoproteins and to a lesser extent with low density lipoproteins and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. The encoded protein is secreted through the plasma membrane but remains membrane-bound, where it is involved in lipid transport. Alternate splicing results in both coding and non-coding variants of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
