MUC1/CA15-3/EMA/CD227 (Epithelial Marker)

MUC1/CA15-3/EMA/CD227 (Epithelial Marker)

• Gene Name: [MUC1]
• NCBI Gene ID: 4582
• Reactivity: Human. Others not known.
• Storage Conditions: Antibody without azide - store at -20 to -80 degree C. Non-hazardous. No MSDS required.
• Specificity: This MAb reacts with MUC1, a large transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the ductal surface of normal glandular epithelia. The dominant epitope of this MAb involves both amino acids as well as sugar moieties. Neuraminidase treatment destroys the antigen. It is a very good tracer agent in CA15.3 assays. The extracellular domain of MUC1 largely consists of a highly conserved, O-glycosylated 20 amino acids tandem repeat which can occur 30-100 times per molecule depending on the length of the allele involved. In the vast majority of human carcinomas this protein is up-regulated and poorly glycosylated and appears on the cell surface in a non-polarized fashion.
