Many cases of breast, prostate, malignant melanomas, urothelial and lung cancers exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. The remaining tumors were generally negative.
A majority of malignant tissues displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining often with a granular pattern. Renal carcinomas were negative. Cholangiocarcinomas were in general strongly stained whereas hepatocellular cancers were negative.
Malignant cells generally displayed moderate or strong cytoplasmic staining.

Hexokinase 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. This gene encodes a ubiquitous form of hexokinase which localizes to the outer membrane of mitochondria. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hemolytic anemia due to hexokinase deficiency. Alternative splicing of this gene results in five transcript variants which encode different isoforms, some of which are tissue-specific. Each isoform has a distinct N-terminus; the remainder of the protein is identical among all the isoforms. A sixth transcript variant has been described, but due to the presence of several stop codons, it is not thought to encode a protein. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]
