MUC1 isoform specific monoclonal antibody 6E6/2 detects preferential expression of the novel MUC1/Y protein in breast and ovarian cancer
19 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
The products of the MUC1 gene are known to be highly expressed in human breast cancer cells. The best characterized MUC1 protein is a polymorphic, type 1 transmembrane molecule containing a large extracellular domain composed primarily of a variable number of 20 amino acid tandem repeats. We have recently identified a novel protein product of the MUC1 gene, the MUC1/Y protein, that is also a transmembrane protein...
