Cancer cells displayed moderate to strong granular cytoplasmic staining with additional membranous and/or nuclear positivity in several cases. Cases of gliomas and testicular cancers were weakly stained.
Most cancer cells showed moderate granular cytoplasmic staining. Additional membranous positivity was observed in a few cases. Cases of stomach, pancreatic, endometrial and ovarian cancers displayed strong positivity. Lymphomas and testis cancers were negative.

Description
Charged multivesicular body protein 1B (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
CHMP1B belongs to the chromatin-modifying protein/charged multivesicular body protein (CHMP) family. These proteins are components of ESCRT-III (endosomal sorting complex required for transport III), a complex involved in degradation of surface receptor proteins and formation of endocytic multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Some CHMPs have both nuclear and cytoplasmic/vesicular distributions, and one such CHMP, CHMP1A (MIM 164010), is required for both MVB formation and regulation of cell cycle progression (Tsang et al., 2006 [PubMed 16730941]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
