General description

Napsin is a pepsin-like aspartic proteinase, in the A1 clan of the AA clade of proteinases. There are two closely related napsins, napsin A and napsin B. Napsin A is expressed as a single chain protein with the molecular weight of approximately 38 kDa. Immunohistochemical studies revealed high expression levels of napsin A in human lung and kidney but low expression in spleen. Napsin A is expressed in type II pneumocytes and in adenocarcinomas of lung. The high specificity expression of napsin A in adenocarcinomas of lung is useful to distinguish primary lung adenocarcinomas from adenocarcinomas of other organs.

Immunohistochemistry is a very valuable and often used tool in the differential diagnosis of lung carcinomas whether primary or secondary to the lung. The most useful application is in distinguishing primary lung tumors from metastatic tumors to the lung from

Recent advances in the treatment of pulmonary adenocarcinoma have increased the need for accurate typing of non-small cell carcinomas. Immunohistochemistry for thyroid transcription factor-1 is widely used in the diagnosis of pulmonary adenocarcinomas because it marks approximately 75% of lung

Differentiation of primary from metastatic adenocarcinoma in the lung can be challenging, and it demands sensitive and specific biomarkers, especially when the tissue for diagnosis is limited. Thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) has been considered a reliable marker for adenocarcinoma of

The purpose of this study was to test napsin A as a diagnostic marker of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma in pleural effusions, and to compare its performance with TTF-1. Napsin A and TTF-1 reactivities were determined immunohistochemically on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded

Primary pulmonary adenocarcinomas with enteric differentiation (PAED) are mainly composed of tall-columnar cells that show similarity to intestinal epithelia and colorectal carcinomas. In this study, we analyzed the immunostaining profiles of 7 PAEDs in comparison with 14 metastatic colorectal carcinomas
