CA125 is a tumor antigen widely used in monitoring ovarian cancer. Using a rabbit polyclonal antibody produced to purified CA125 antigen to screen cells from an ovarian cancer cell (OVCAR-3) cDNA library in E. coli, Yin and Lloyd (2001) cloned a long partial cDNA, which they designated MUC16, corresponding to the CA125 antigen. The deduced 1,890-amino acid protein contains characteristic features of a mucin-type molecule, including a high serine, threonine, and proline content in an N-terminal region of 9 partially conserved tandem repeats and a C-terminal region nontandem repeat sequence containing a possible transmembrane region and a potential tyrosine phosphorylation site. MUC16 also has a high leucine content. Northern blot analysis showed that the level of MUC16 mRNA correlated with the expression of CA125 in a panel of cell lines. [Provide by OMIN]
