Moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity in several cases of most cancers. Inflammatory cells were distinctly stained. Skin cancers, carcinomas, urothelial cancers, most gliomas and testis cancers were weakly stained or negative.

Entrez gene summary
Calcium-dependent membrane-binding proteins may regulate molecular events at the interface of the cell membrane and cytoplasm. This gene encodes a calcium-dependent protein that also contains two N-terminal type II C2 domains and an integrin A domain-like sequence in the C-terminus. However, the encoded protein does not contain a predicted signal sequence or transmembrane domains. This protein has a broad tissue distribution and it may function in membrane trafficking. This gene and the gene for RNA binding motif protein 12 overlap at map location 20q11.21. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different proteins.
