Description
Introduction: MUC16, aka CA125, is a mucin protein that might be found in type I transmembrane or secreted forms that are used monitor the progress of epithelial ovarian cancer therapy. The CA125 molecule is heterogeneous with regard to both size and charge, almost certainly due to continuous deglycosylation of side chains during its life-span in bodily fluids. MUC16 is most likely a glycoprotein with a predominance of O-linkages.
Description: The Human Mucin-16 (CA125) was purified from Human carcinoma cell line
