Target description

Mucin-5AC (UniProt: P98088; also known as MUC5-AC, Gastric mucin, Major airway glycoprotein 1, Mucin-5 subtype AC tracheobronchial, Tracheobronchial mucin 1. TBM) is encoded by the MUC5AC (also known as MUC5) gene (Gene ID: 4586) in human. MUC5-AC is a gel-forming glycoprotein of gastric and respiratory tract epithelia that protects the mucosa from infection and chemical damage by binding to inhaled microorganisms and particles that are subsequently removed by mucociliary system. It is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-27), which is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature form (aa 28-5654). MUC5-AC undergoes C-, O- and N-glycosylation. O-glycosylation occurs on the second and last threonine of the threonine/serine-rich tandem repeats TTPSPVPTTSTTSA. C-mannosylation in the cysteine-rich subdomains may be required for proper folding of these regions and for export from the endoplasmic reticulum during biosynthesis. At its N- and C-termini are larger and more complex domains that are rich in cysteine and are involved in formation of the mucin polymers. These domains include sequences, including the D1, D2, D , and D3 domains at the N-terminus and the D4, C, and CK domains at the C-terminus. MUC5-AC is overexpressed in a number of carcinomas. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
