Quick Overview for MUC1 antibody (ABIN125969)

Target: MUC1 (Mucin 1 (MUC1))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MUC1 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Clone: BC-2

Product Details anti-MUC1 Antibody

Specificity: The human Mucin-1 antibody is reactive with 90 % of breast carcinoma, most epithelial ovarian carcinoma and a high portion of the lung, urogenital and gastrointestinal carcinomas. Some reactivity is observed in the apical membrane of normal breast epithelium. Weak reactivity is also present in pancreas, kidney and lung. BC-2 reacts with a five amino acid epitope of the MUC-1 core protein which is less affective for glysosilation than most other MUC-1 epitopes. Localization: Cytoplasm and Membrane.

Purification: Purified

Immunogen: Human milk fat globuline membrane preparation.

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Immunoblotting. Immunohistochemistry on Frozen and Paraffin Sections: 1/20, 1h at RT. Dilute immediately before use with PBS or TBS. Recommended Positive Control: Mamma Carcinoma.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Storage Comment: Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8 °C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20 °C for longer.

Target Details for MUC1

Target: MUC1 (Mucin 1 (MUC1))

Alternative Name: CD227 / Mucin-1 / MUC1

Background: MUC1 is a large cell surface mucin glycoprotein expressed by most glandular and ductal epithelial cells and some hematopoietic cell lineages. It is expressed on most secretory epithelium, including mammary gland and some hematopoietic cells. It is expressed abundantly in lactating mammary glands and overexpressed abundantly in >90 % breast carcinomas and metastases. Transgenic MUC1 has been shown to associate with all four cebB receptors and localize with erbB1 (EGFR) in lactating glands. The MUC1 gene contains seven exons and produces several different alternatively spliced variants. The major expressed form of MUC1 uses all seven exons and is a type 1 transmembrane protein with a large extracellular tandem repeat domain. The tandem repeat domain is highly O glycosylated and alterations in glycosylation have been shown in epithelial cancer cells.Synonyms: Breast carcinoma-associated antigen DF3, CA 15-3, Carcinoma-associated mucin, DF3, EMA, Episialin, H23AG, MUC-1, PEMT, PUM, Peanut-reactive urinary mucin, Polymorphic epithelial mucin, Tumor-associated epithelial membrane antigen, Tumor-associated mucin
