MUC17
Mucin 17 (MUC17) is a transmembrane protein that is expressed on the apical surface of gastrointestinal epithelial cells and is a key component of the mucosal layer.1,2 MUC17 is overexpressed in about half of gastric cancers, where it exhibits multifocal membranous staining on tumor cells.3-6 MUC17 is a compelling target in gastric cancer due to its prevalent expression on tumor cells as compared to the low, relatively restricted expression in normal tissues.1,3
