Background

Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein (AZGP1) is a 41-kDa soluble protein normally found in body fluids, functions as a lipid mobilizing factor. It is known to be expressed in the secretory epithelia of the liver, lung, breast, GI tract and sweat glands, sharing significant structural similarity with the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens. AZGP1 is involved in carcinogenesis and differentiation. Altered expression of AZGP1 has been reported in breast cancer, prostate cancer and lung adenocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma and oral tumors.
