MUC1 is a large cell surface mucin glycoprotein expressed by most glandular and ductal epithelial cells and some hematopoietic cell lineages. It is expressed on most secretory epithelium, including mammary gland and some hematopoietic cells. It is expressed abundantly in lactating mammary glands and overexpressed abundantly in 90% breast carcinomas and metastases. Transgenic MUC1 has been shown to associate with all four cebB receptors and localize with erbB1 (EGFR) in lactating gland

This gene encodes the light subunit of the ferritin protein. Ferritin is the major intracellular iron storage protein in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of 24 subunits of the heavy and light ferritin chains. Variation in ferritin subunit composition may affect the rates of iron uptake and release in different tissues. A major function of ferritin is the storage of iron in a soluble and nontoxic state. Defects in this light chain ferritin gene are associated with several neurodege

Thymidine Kinase (TK1) is a highly conserved phosphotransferase that is present in most living cells. Thymidine Kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation reaction: deoxythymidine + ATP = deoxythymidine 5'-phosphate + ADP; it is thus involved in the reaction chain to introduce deoxythymidine into the DNA. Thymidine kinase is required for the action of many antiviral drugs, such as azidothymidine (AZT), and is is also used to select hybridoma cell lines in the production of monoclonal antibodies. T

This gene encodes a DNA topoisomerase, an enzyme that controls and alters the topologic states of DNA during transcription. This enzyme catalyzes the transient breaking and rejoining of a single strand of DNA which allows the strands to pass through one another, thus altering the topology of DNA. This gene is localized to chromosome 20 and has pseudogenes which reside on chromosomes 1 and 22. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

MEK5 is a dual specificity protein kinase belonging to thr Ser/Thr protein kinase family, (MAP kinase kinase family). It is activated by phosphorylation on Ser/Thr by MAP kinase kinases and interacts specifically with ERK5, and not with another MAP kinase like P38. This kinase specifically interacts with and activates MAPK7/ERK5. This kinase itself can be phosphorylated and activated by MAP3K3/MEKK3, as well as by atypical protein kinase C isoforms (aPKCs). It is not phosphorylated by RAFA,
