The Mammaglobin gene encodes a 10-kDa glycoprotein that is homolog to human Clara cell 10-kDa protein (CC10)/uteroglobin. SCGB2A2. Expression of the mammaglobin gene is highly restricted to the adult mammary gland. Antibody to Mammaglobin labels normal breast epithelial cells and breast tumor cells. It is a useful marker for identification of primary and metastatic breast cancer.
