Here, we investigated the utility of the myoepithelial markers smooth muscle actin (SMA), smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SMMHC), cytokeratin-14 (CK14) and p63 to discriminate mammary intraepithelial neoplasia (MIN) from invasive disease in the C57BL/6J MMTV-PyMT transgenic model of mammary carcinoma. The gene discussed is KRT14; the disease is breast carcinoma.
