NCIt synonyms : SBEM; Mucin-Like 1 wt Allele; Small Breast Epithelial Mucin Gene; LOC118430; UNQ590/PRO1160; LOC118430 wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human MUCL1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12q and is approximately
4 kb in length. This allele, which encodes mucin-like protein 1, may be involved in
the modulation of epithelial basement membrane structure. The expression of the gene
may be a marker for metastatic breast cancer because it is expressed at elevated levels
in breast carcinomas displaying lymph node metastases.;
NCIt note : OMIM and Ensembl report that the MUCL1 gene is located in the vicinity of 12q13.2.;
