Several cases of testicular cancers along with a few cases of melanomas, colorectal, ovarian, stomach and liver cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. Remaining cancer tissues were generally negative.
Several cases of papillary adenocarcinomas of thyroid and few cases of glioma, stomach and pancreatic cancers showed strong granular cytoplasmic staining. Few cases of melanoma, ovarian, lung and renal cancers displayed moderate positivity. Inflammatory cells were distinctly stained. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
Moderate cytoplasmic staining with a granular pattern was observed in several cases of gliomas and testicular cancer. Remaining cancer cells were in general weakly stained or negative.

Carboxypeptidase, vitellogenic-like (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a carboxypeptidase and bears strong sequence similarity to serine carboxypeptidases. Carboxypeptidases are a large class of proteases that act to cleave a single amino acid from the carboxy termini of proteins or peptides. The exact function of this protein, however, has not been determined. At least two alternatively spliced transcripts which encode the same protein have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
