Product Details anti-MUC1 Antibody

Target: MUC1 (Mucin 1 (MUC1))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MUC1 antibody is un-conjugated

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

Cross-Reactivity: Human

Characteristics: Episialin,Muc1 is a heavily O-glycosylated transmembrane protein expressed on most secretory epithelium, including mammary gland and some hematopoietic cells. It is expressed abundantly in lactating mammary glands and overexpressed in >90 % breast carcinomas and metastases. In normal mammary gland it is expressed in apical surface of glandular epithelium. In breast cancer Muc1 is overexpressed, is underglycosylated and the apical localization is lost. Muc1 is transcribed as a larger precursor which is cleaved to form a larger mucin like subunit (265-400 kDa) and a smaller subunit (14-28 kDa) noncovalently associated with each other. Transgenic Muc1 has been shown to associate with all four erbB receptors and localize with erbB1 (EGFR) in lactating glands1. Muc1 can act as a ligand for ICAM-1 on HUVEC cells, it can bind -catenin, GSK3 and it associates with Grb2-SOS upon phosphorylation.

Purification: Protein A/G Chromatography

Immunogen: Hybridoma produced by the fusion of splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a Muc1 60mer tandem repeat NH2-(VTSAPDTRPAPGSTAPPAHG)3-COOH and mouse myeloma SP2 cells.

Clone: VU-4H5

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Antibody can be used for immunohistochemistry on frozen and paraffin embedded tissues, ELISA and Western blotting. Optimal concentration should be evaluated by serial dilutions. Antibody can only detect Muc1 if the threonine residue of the PDTRPAP of the tandem repeat region is non-glycosylated4.
