Mammaglobin
Use
Mammaglobin is a breast‑associated glycoprotein. In normal breast tissue, this antibody labels breast ductal and lobular epithelial cells. In tumor cells, it is reactive with all types of breast adenocarcinoma regardless of tumor differentiation and type. Adenocarcinomas from other organs rarely express mammaglobin. This marker can help in the identification of primary sites of carcinomas.
