Recombinant Human CA125 Protein (Mammalian, C-6His)

CA125 is a mucin protein that may be found in type I transmembrane or secreted forms that are used monitor the progress of epithelial ovarian cancer therapy. CA125 binds galectin-1 on immune cells and enhances its expression on tumor cells. CA125-expressing tumors adhere to NK cells, down-regulate CD16 and suppress NK response, which may promote immune evasion.
