Biomarker: CA125

Histology type: endometrioid endometrial carcinoma

Region: Thessaloniki

Followed up time :

Conclusion: The preoperative serum CA125 can predict the lymph node metastasis in endometrioid-type endometrial cancer

Sample type : serum

Sample method: ELISA

Expression pattern : preoperative serum> 16 IU/ml

Statictics: Mean;Range

Cohort age: 56.7;29–83

Funtion Uniprot: Thought to provide a protective, lubricating barrier against particles and infectious agents at mucosal surfaces.

UniProt ID: Q8WXI7

UniProt Link: https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/Q8WXI7/entry

Molecular function from UniProt:

Tissue specificity from UniProt: Expressed in corneal and conjunctival epithelia (at protein level). Overexpressed in ovarian carcinomas and ovarian low malignant potential (LMP) tumors as compared to the expression in normal ovarian tissue and ovarian adenomas.

Subcellular UniProt: #Cell membrane #Membrane #Secreted

Alternative name from UniProt:

Miscellaneous: Antigen that is the basis for a widely used serum assay for the monitoring of patients with ovarian epithelial cancer. Due to lack of sensitivity for stage I disease and lack of specificity, it is of little value in the detection of early ovarian cancer. Due to its similarly elevated levels in some nonmalignant conditions, it is not specific enough to be used for population screening.

Gene name from HGNC: MUC16 (CA125, FLJ14303)

HPA class: Cancer-related genes CD markers Disease related genes FDA approved drug targets

AlphaFold DB: SMR Q8WXI7

AlphaFold Link: https://swissmodel.expasy.org/repository/uniprot/Q8WXI7?csm=7D5E9A14F70EB90A

Induction: Up-regulated in ovarian cancer cells.

HPA link: https://www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000181143-MUC16

Tissue specificity RNA from HPA: Group enriched (adipose tissue, cervix, fallopian tube, salivary gland)

Tissue expression from HPA: Cytoplasmic and membranous expression in glandular cells of cervix, endometrium, fallopian tube, salivary gland and respiratory epithelium.

Single cell type specificity Monocytes - Immune response regulation (mainly)

Immune cell specificity: Low human brain regional specificity
