Villin is a 95kD glycoprotein of microvilli associated with rootlet formation in gastrointestinalmuco
sal epithelium. Anti-Villin labels the brush border area in the gastrointestinal mucosalepithelium. This antibody has been useful in differentiating gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma,neuro
endocrine carcinomas and ovarian adenocarcinomas from adenocarcinomas fromother organs. Also labeled by this antibody are Merkel cells of the skin.
