Membranous staining of various intensities was observed in carcinoid. Neuropil in gliomas showed strong cytoplasmic staining. All other cancers were negative.
Carcinoids and a few pancreatic cancers showed strong membranous and cytoplasmic positivity. Neuropil in gliomas showed strong staining. Distinct staining was also observed in fractions of cases in several other cancer tissues e.g. prostate and colorectal cancers. Most cancer tissues were negative.

Description
Syntaxin 1A (brain) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the syntaxin superfamily. Syntaxins are nervous system-specific proteins implicated in the docking of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic plasma membrane. Syntaxins possess a single C-terminal transmembrane domain, a SNARE [Soluble NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein)-Attachment protein REceptor] domain (known as H3), and an N-terminal regulatory domain (Habc). Syntaxins bind synaptotagmin in a calcium-dependent fashion and interact with voltage dependent calcium and potassium channels via the C-terminal H3 domain. This gene product is a key molecule in ion channel regulation and synaptic exocytosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
