MUC1 and endometrial receptivity [PDF]
Mucins, best known as the major constituent of mucus, are a family of highly glycosylated, high molecular weight (> or = 200 kDa) glycoproteins present on the surface of human epithelial cells. MUC1 has the features of an integral membrane protein. It has an extracellular tandem repeat domain that forms the major part of the core protein, and results ...

MUC1 in hematological malignancies [PDF]
Mucin1 (MUC1) is a transmembrane oncogenic protein that plays a central role in malignant transformation and disease evolution, including cell proliferation, survival, self-renewal, and metastatic invasion. MUC1 has been shown to interact with diverse effectors such as β-catenin, receptor tyrosine kinases, and c-Abl, which are of importance in the ...

The MUC1 membrane mucin was first identified as the molecule recognised by mouse monoclonal antibodies directed to epithelial cells, and the cancers which develop from them. Cloning the gene showed that the extracellular domain is made up of highly conserved repeats of 20 amino acids, the actual number varying between 25 and 100 depending on the allele.

Optical Aptamer Probes of Fluorescent Imaging to Rapid Monitoring of Circulating Tumor Cell
Fluorescence detecting of exogenous EpCAM (epithelial cell adhesion molecule) or muc1 (mucin1) expression correlated to cancer metastasis using nanoparticles provides pivotal information on CTC (circulating tumor cell) occurrence in a noninvasive tool ...

MUC1: Antibodies and Immunoassays
High molecular weight mucins represent a unique challenge as tumor markers by virtue of their complex array of epitopes. The list is dominated by the high molecular weight mucins MUC1, CEA and CA125. While the currently accepted role for these tumor markers is in the prediction and detection of relapse, it is possible that their sensitivity and ...

Background The MUC1 gene encodes a mucin glycoprotein(s) which is basally expressed in most epithelial cells. In breast adenocarcinoma and a variety of epithelial tumors its transcription is dramatically upregulated.
