Colorectal, endometrial, thyroid and pancreatic cancers along with several cases of cervical, lung and testicular cancers displayed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity was observed in liver cancers. Other malignancies were in general weakly stained or negative.
Most adenocarcinomas, urothelial and breast cancers exhibited weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Other tumors were generally negative.

Nebulette (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a nebulin like protein that is abundantly expressed in cardiac muscle. The encoded protein binds actin and interacts with thin filaments and Z-line associated proteins in striated muscle. This protein may be involved in cardiac myofibril assembly. A shorter isoform of this protein termed LIM nebulette is expressed in non-muscle cells and may function as a component of focal adhesion complexes. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
