Mucins are a family of high molecular weight, heavily glycosylated proteins (glycoconjugates) produced by many epithelial tissues in vertebrates. 6378-0155 recognises CD227, also known as mucin 1 which is a breast cancer associated mucin encoded by the Muc-1 gene. CD227 is expressed on most secretory epithelium, including mammary gland and some hematopoietic cells. This protein is overexpressed abundantly in >90% breast carcinomas and metastases.
The dominant epitope recognised by 6378-0155 is the 7-mer TSAPDTR of the mucin 1 tandem repeat established using epitope finger-printing.
This antibody has been tested on frozen human ovarian carcinoma tissue sections and paraffin embedded sections from normal breast tissue. It reacts weakly with sections from small intestine and colon.
