Most of the tumour tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and/or membranous staining. Many carcinoids, melanomas, skin, testis, liver and breast cancers were negative.
Many melanomas, thyroid and endometrial cancers along with a few cases of gliomas, lymphomas, colorectal, ovarian, renal and urothelial cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic and occasional membranous positivity. Remaining tumour tissues were negative.
Colorectal cancers along with a few cases of pancreatic, urothelial and ovarian cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic and membranous immunoreactivity. Remaining tumour cells were weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
Adducins are a family of cytoskeleton proteins encoded by three genes (alpha, beta, gamma). Adducin is a heterodimeric protein that consists of related subunits, which are produced from distinct genes but share a similar structure. Alpha- and beta-adducin include a protease-resistant N-terminal region and a protease-sensitive, hydrophilic C-terminal region. Alpha- and gamma-adducins are ubiquitously expressed. In contrast, beta-adducin is expressed at high levels in brain and hematopoietic tissues. Adducin binds with high affinity to Ca(2+)/calmodulin and is a substrate for protein kinases A and C. Alternative splicing results in multiple variants encoding distinct isoforms; however, not all variants have been fully described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
