MUC5AC (Mucin 5AC/Gastric Mucin)

MUC5AC (Mucin 5AC/Gastric Mucin)

• Gene Name: [MUC5AC]
• NCBI Gene ID: 4586
• Reactivity: Human, Monkey, Rabbit, Cat, Mouse, Rat, Pig, Hedgehog, Chicken
  Does not react with Cow.
• Storage Conditions: Antibody with azide: store at 2 to 8 degree C.
  Antibody without azide: store at -20 to -80 degree C.
  Antibody is stable for 24 months. Non-hazardous. No MSDS required.
• Specificity: This MAb recognizes the peptide core of gastric mucin M1 (recently identified as Mucin 5AC).Its epitope is located in the C-terminal cysteine rich part of the peptide core of MUC5AC. Its epitope is destroyed by beta-mercaptoethanol but not by periodate treatment. This mucin is present in primary ovarian mucinous cancer but usually absent in colorectal adenocarcinoma, thus showing an expression pattern opposite to MUC2. Together with a panel of antibodies, Anti-MUC5AC may be useful for differential identification of primary mucinous ovarian tumors from colon adenocarcinoma metastatic to the ovary. MUC5AC antibodies may also be useful for identification of intestinal metaplasia as well as in the identification of pancreatic carcinoma and pre-cancerous changes vs. normal pancreas.
