MUC2 Mucinous Cancer Test - MUC2 Immunohistochemistry Test

Immunohistochemical assay for MUC2 (Mucin 2) aims to detect this specific type of mucosal glycoprotein (mucin). MUC2 is normally expressed in goblet cells of the intestine and intestinal mucosa and is a characteristic marker for mucinous carcinomas arising from these cells, particularly in the colon and rectum, and in mucosal ovarian cancer.
