[Glycodelin as a potential marker of female genital system tumors (a review of literature)]
Abstract
The authors present the currently available data on the expression of glycodelin, a unique secretory protein of the human reproductive system, which has gender-dependent glycosylation, immunosuppressive and morphogenetic activities, in gynecological cancers. They also discuss the theoretical and practical aspects of studying glycodelin as an effector and a marker molecule of oncogenesis.
