Mucin-1 Antigen (MUC1)

Target
MUC1
Molecular classification
Single-pass type I transmembrane protein, Mucin
01

Overview

Mucin-1 (MUC1) is a high molecular weight, membrane-bound glycoprotein and a member of the mucin family. It acts as a protective barrier for epithelial surfaces. In cancer, MUC1 is frequently overexpressed with altered glycosylation patterns, contributing to tumor progression by promoting chemoresistance and metastasis. It serves as both a biomarker and a therapeutic target.
