Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mucins are high-molecular-weight glycoproteins containing numerous carbohydrate linkages on a core polypeptide
Many tumors have unregulated expression of enzymes that synthesize these carbohydrate side chains, thus leading to foreign carbohydrate epitopes
CA-125 and CA-19-9 are two mucins that are expressed in many ovarian carcinomas.
