Mammaglobin A Antibody / SCGB2A2

Mammaglobin, 10 kDa, is a cytoplasmic protein, a mammary-specific member of the uteroglobin family. It is related to a family of epithelial secretory proteins that includes prostatein and Clara cell protein. Mammaglobin occurs in about 80% of breast carcinomas. The extend is generally larger than that of GCDFP-15. Up to 15% of non-breast carcinomas (such as stomach, lung, colon, hepatobiliary, thyroid, ovarian, and urothelial carcinomas) have been reported positive, usually only focally. Mammaglobin is a sensitive and fairly specific marker for breast carcinoma.
