Use
MUC1 is a transmembrane glycoprotein mucin 1 that lines the apical surface of epithelial cells in several organs and tissues including the lungs, stomach, pancreas, kidney, colon, and breast. MUC1 expression is characteristic of most epithelial tumors but is generally absent in lymphomas, leukemias, melanomas, and sarcomas.
