Cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining with additional membranous positivity in few cases. Most of the papillary adenocarcinomas of thyroid and a rare case of breast cancer were strongly stained.
Cancer tissues generally displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity.

Sorting nexin 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the sorting nexin family. Members of this family contain a phox (PX) domain, which is a phosphoinositide binding domain, and are involved in intracellular trafficking. This protein functions in endosomal sorting, the phosphoinositide-signaling pathway, and macropinocytosis. This gene may play a role in the tumorigenesis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
