Orderable Test Description
Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a high molecular weight glycoprotein that is found on the apical surface of many glandular epithelia, including the gastrointestinal, respiratory, urinary, reproductive tracts and some hematopoietic cell lineages. MUC1 has been implicated in progression of numerous types of cancer, including breast, colon, lung, gastric and pancreatic cancers. MUC1 expression in tumors is greatly increased and accompanied by altered aberrant expression patterns that become more diffuse when compared to the normal apically restricted pattern.
