1 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
The mucin (MUC) family consists of secreted and membrane-bound forms. The transmembrane mucin 1 (MUC1) is a heterodimer that is aberrantly overexpressed by diverse human carcinomas and certain hematologic malignancies. The MUC1 N-terminal (MUC1-N) and C-terminal (MUC1-C) subunits are generated by autocleavage within a SEA domain. The MUC1 cytoplasmic domain (MUC1-CD) located downstream of the SEA domain is...
