Several colorectal, prostatic, thyroid, endometrial cancers along with few beast, occasional ovarian and cervical cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic staining with luminal membranous positivity. Other cancer tissues were negative.
Moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining was observed in a majority of malignancies. Several malignant gliomas,lymphomas, melanomas, skin, testicular and liver cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Myosin VI (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a reverse-direction motor protein that moves toward the minus end of actin filaments and plays a role in intracellular vesicle and organelle transport. The protein consists of a motor domain containing an ATP- and an actin-binding site and a globular tail which interacts with other proteins. This protein maintains the structural integrity of inner ear hair cells and mutations in this gene cause non-syndromic autosomal dominant and recessive hearing loss. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
