PIP
(Prolactin-Induced Protein (PIP))
Alternative Name
GCDFP-15
Background
It recognizes a protein of 15 kDa, identified as Gross cystic disease fluid protein 15 (GCDFP-15). It is a major protein component of benign breast gross cysts. It is a known marker of breast cancer, as it is found in approximately 50 % of all breast cancer specimens. GCDFP-15, also known as Prolactin-Induced Protein (PIP), for prolactin inducible protein, is a prolactin and androgen-controlled protein. This antibody is useful in the identification of metastatic breast carcinoma, or fluid analysis.
