Few cases of pancreatic and thyroid cancers were moderate to strongly stained while several carcinoids, prostate, breast, ovarian, renal and liver cancers showed moderate staining. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
Few cases of melanomas and carcinoids displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.

Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of a large, diverse group of A-kinase anchor proteins that target the activity of protein kinase A to specific subcellular sites by binding to its type II regulatory subunits. Brain-specific expression and coat protein-like membrane recruitment of a highly similar protein in mouse suggest an involvement in neuronal post-Golgi membrane traffic. Mutations in this gene may be associated with a form of autism. This gene and its expression are frequently disrupted in patients with multiple myeloma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Additional transcript variants may exist, but their full-length nature has not been determined.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
