MUC3A antibody

Catalog No. ABIN6940121

Product Details anti-MUC3A Antibody

Target: MUC3A (Mucin 3A, Cell Surface Associated (MUC3A))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MUC3A antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Staining Methods (StM)

Specificity: It recognizes a protein of HMW, identified as mucin 3 glycoprotein (MUC3). Its epitope localizes between aa SITTTE. This MAb shows no cross-reaction with human milk fat globule membranes, MUC1, or MUC2. MUC3 is distributed in colon and rectum, and is also present to a lesser extent in breast, lung and salivary gland tissues. The Mucins are a family of highly glycosylated, secreted proteins with a basic structure consisting of a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) encoded by 60 base pairs (Mucin 1), 69 base pairs (Mucin 2) and 51 base pairs (Mucin 3). The number of repeats is highly polymorphic and varies among different alleles. Mucin 1 proteins are expressed as type I membrane proteins in addition to secreted forms. Mucin 1 is aberrantly expressed in epithelial tumors including breast carcinomas. Mucin 2 coats the epithelia of the intestines and airways and is associated with colonic tumors. Mucin 3 is a major component of various mucus gels and is broadly expressed in normal and tumor cells.

Purification: Purified by Protein A/G

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide of 35 amino acids, SIB35 (C-HSTPSFTSSITTTETTSHSTPSFTSSITTTETTS), which contains two of the MUC3 tandem repeats, coupled to KLH.

Clone: M3-1

Isotype: IgG2a kappa
