A majority of malignancies showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and/or cytoplasmic staining.
Malignant carcinoid and renal cancers as well as several cases of malignant gliomas and liver cancers were weakly stained or negative.
Malignant tissues exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Gliomas, renal, lymphomas, melanomas and testicular cancers were weakly stained or negative.
Most of the malignant cells showed moderate cytoplasmic and occasional membranous positivity. Several cases of colorectal, ovarian and liver cancers showed strong immunoreactivity. Malignant gliomas and several cases of renal cancers, malignant lymphomas and melanomas were weakly stained or negative.

Description
BAI1-associated protein 2-like 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the IMD (IRSp53/MIM homology domain) family. Members of this family can be subdivided in two groups, the IRSp53-like and MIM-like, based on the presence or absence of the SH3 (Src homology 3) domain. The protein encoded by this gene contains a conserved IMD, also known as F-actin bundling domain, at the N-terminus, and a canonical SH3 domain near the C-terminus, so it belongs to the IRSp53-like group. This protein is the substrate for insulin receptor tyrosine kinase and binds to the small GTPase Rac. It is involved in signal transduction pathways that link deformation of the plasma membrane and remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. It also promotes actin assembly and membrane protrusions when overexpressed in mammalian cells, and is essential to the formation of a potent actin assembly complex during EHEC (Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli) pedestal formation.
