Catalog No. ABIN119389

This Mouse Monoclonal antibody specifically detects MUC1 in FACS and IF. It exhibits reactivity toward Human.

Quick Overview for MUC1 antibody (FITC) (ABIN119389)

Target: MUC1 (Mucin 1 (MUC1))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MUC1 antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF)

Clone: C595

Product Details anti-MUC1 Antibody (FITC)

Specificity: This antibody recognises CD227, the breast cancer associated mucin encoded by the Muc-1 gene. In normal tissues expression is restricted to specialised glandular epithelial cells. Clone C595 recognises the peptide epitope ARG-PRO-ALA-PRO within the protein core of the Mucin.

Purification: Affinity Chromatography on Protein G

Immunogen: Urinary MUC-1 mucin. Spleen cells from immunised Balb/c mice were fused with cells of a mouse myeloma cell line.

Isotype: IgG3

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: neat - 1/10, use 10 μL of the suggested working dilution to label 10^6 cells in 100 μL.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

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
