Several cases of prostate, thyroid, lung, skin and liver cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining with additional membranous positivity in occasional cases.

Transmembrane protease, serine 11D (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a trypsin-like serine protease released from the submucosal serous glands onto mucous membrane. It is a type II integral membrane protein and has 29-38% identity in the sequence of the catalytic region with human hepsin, enteropeptidase, acrosin, and mast cell tryptase. The noncatalytic region has little similarity to other known proteins. This protein may play some biological role in the host defense system on the mucous membrane independently of or in cooperation with other substances in airway mucous or bronchial secretions.
