Mucin 16, the dimerization copycat of mucin 1?
The FASEB Journal, 2021 Mucin 1 (MUC1), a transmembrane mucin that serves a protective role by inhibiting extracellular pathogens from entering epithelial cells is also implicated in forming cancerous cells through dimer formation. Upon expression and localization in the membrane, MUC1 proteins form cysteine‐dependent homodimers through the juxtamembrane domain CQC motif. The

Mucin 1 Gene (MUC1) and Gastric-Cancer Susceptibility [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2014 Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the major malignant diseases worldwide, especially in Asia. It is classified into intestinal and diffuse types. While the intestinal-type GC (IGC) is almost certainly caused by Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, its role in the diffuse-type GC (DGC) appears limited.

Sensitivity of Human Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Subtypes to Chemotherapeutics and Molecular Targeted Agents: A Study on Primary Cell Cultures. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We investigated the sensitivity of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCCA) subtypes to chemotherapeutics and molecular targeted agents. Primary cultures of mucin- and mixed-IHCCA were prepared from surgical specimens (N.

Smoking-associated increase in mucins 1 and 4 in human airways [PDF]
Respiratory Research, 2020 Abstract Rationale Smoking-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with dysregulated production of mucus. Mucins (MUC) are important both for mucus secretion and epithelial defense. We have examined the distribution of MUC1 and MUC4 in the airway epithelial cells of never-smokers and smokers ...

Cells, 2022 Mucin 1 is a transmembrane glycoprotein which overexpresses cancer-specific epitopes (MUC1-CE) on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells. As PDAC is a low survival and highly aggressive malignancy, developing radioimmunoconjugates capable of ...

Mucin-1-Antibody-Conjugated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Selective Breast Cancer Detection in a Mucin-1 Transgenic Murine Mouse Model [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Nanotechnology, 2016 Mucin-1 (MUC1), a transmembrane glycoprotein is aberrantly expressed on ~90% of breast cancer and is an excellent target for nanoparticulate targeted imaging. In this study, the development of a dye-doped NIR emitting mesoporous silica nanoparticles platform conjugated to tumor-specific MUC1 antibody (ab-tMUC1-NIR-MSN) for in vivo optical detection of ...

A Monoclonal Antibody Against the Oncogenic Mucin 1 Cytoplasmic Domain [PDF]
Hybridoma, 2011 Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a heterodimeric protein that is aberrantly overexpressed in diverse human carcinomas and certain hematologic malignancies. The transmembrane MUC1-C subunit confers tumorigenicity and is a target for anti-cancer drug development. In this regard, the MUC1-C cytoplasmic domain interacts with multiple effectors that have been linked to ...
