Most malignant cells were negative. A few cases prostate cancers showed moderate membranous staining while a few malignant melanomas, gliomas and renal cancers displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity.

Description
HtrA serine peptidase 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the HtrA family of proteases. The encoded protein contains a putative signal peptide, an insulin growth factor binding domain, a Kazal protease inhibitor domain, a conserved trypsin domain and a PDZ domain. Based on studies on other related family members, this enzyme may function as a secreted oligomeric chaperone protease to degrade misfolded secretory proteins. Other human HtrA proteins have been implicated in arthritis, tumor suppression, unfolded stress response, apoptosis, and aging. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
