A majority of cancer tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining with a granular pattern. Most cases of lymphomas, squamous cell carcinomas of skin, cervix, testicular and renal cancer as well as several cases of gliomas, urothelial and breast cancer were weakly stained or negative.

GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
OSBPL5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
KIAA1534, ORP5
Description
Oxysterol binding protein-like 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) family, a group of intracellular lipid receptors that play a key role in the maintenance of cholesterol balance in the body. Most members contain an N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain and a highly conserved C-terminal OSBP-like sterol-binding domain. This gene has been shown to be imprinted, with preferential expression from the maternal allele only in placenta. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
