The majority of testicular and prostate cancers as well as several cases of colorectal, ovarian, pancreatic and liver cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity often combined with membranous staining. Other malignancies were weakly stained or negative.

Description
SEC24 homolog A, COPII coat complex component (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of proteins that are homologous to yeast Sec24. This protein is a component of coat protein II (COPII)-coated vesicles that mediate protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum. COPII acts in the cytoplasm to promote the transport of secretory, plasma membrane, and vacuolar proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the golgi complex. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
