Distinct granular cytoplasmic and in rare cases also nuclear positivity was observed in several cases of malignant glioma whereas several cases of renal cancers and thyroid cancers displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining malignant cells were weakly stained or generally negative.
Malignant glioma, prostate, endometrial, renal and liver cancer generally displayed moderate cytoplasmic staining. Remaining malignant cells were mainly negative.

PEBP1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
HCNP, PBP, PEBP, RKIP
Description
Phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the phosphatidylethanolamine-binding family of proteins and has been shown to modulate multiple signaling pathways, including the MAP kinase (MAPK), NF-kappa B, and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) signaling pathways. The encoded protein can be further processed to form a smaller cleavage product, hippocampal cholinergic neurostimulating peptide (HCNP), which may be involved in neural development. This gene has been implicated in numerous human cancers and may act as a metastasis suppressor gene. Multiple pseudogenes of this gene have been identified in the genome.
