A majority of the malignant tissues displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity with additional nuclear staining in many cases. Isolated cases of colorectal, endometrial and skin cancers exhibited strong staining. Several cases of malignant gliomas, lung and liver cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Acylphosphatase 1, erythrocyte (common) type (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the acylphosphatase family. The encoded protein is a small cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the carboxyl-phosphate bond of acylphosphates. Two isoenzymes have been isolated and described based on their tissue localization: erythrocyte (common) type acylphosphatase encoded by this gene, and muscle type acylphosphatase. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
