Most malignant cells were negative. A majority of hepatocellular carcinomas and thyroid cancers exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining while several cases of endometrial cancers showed moderate positivity.

Synaptotagmin-like 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the synaptotagmin-like (Slp) protein family, which contains a unique homology domain at the N-terminus, referred to as the Slp homology domain (SHD). The SHD functions as a binding site for Rab27A, which plays a role in protein transport. Expression of this gene is restricted to placenta and liver, suggesting that it might be involved in Rab27A-dependent membrane trafficking in specific tissues. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
