human ... MUC5B(727897)

General description

Mucins are a family of highly glycosylated proteins that are present on the surface of, and are secreted by, many glandular epithelial cells. Mucins provide a barrier between the luminal membranes of cells in the epithelium and their environment. For instance, in the digestive tract, the mucin barrier protects the epithelial cells from the action of proteolytic enzymes. These high molecular weight glycoproteins consist of a nonglobular protein backbone (apomucin) and many O-linked glycans. Salivary Mucin 5B proteins are some of the largest polypeptides, with molecular weights ranging from 14 - 40 x 103 kDa.

Specificity

Reacts with Mucin 5B (MUC5B). Does not react with human Mucin 5A or 5C.

Immunogen

Un-glycosylated, serine- and threonine-free synthetic peptide from the N-terminus of human MUC5B.

Application

Detect Mucin 5B using this Anti-Mucin 5B Antibody, clone 19.4E validated for use in ELISA, WB, IH.
Research Category
Apoptosis & Cancer
Research Sub Category
Tumor Markers
Western blot; Bands in the high molecular weight range of 200kDa or above are expected for highly glycosylated proteins.

Immunohistchemistry: Paraffin sections. Deglycosylating the tissue is critical to expose epitope. There are a number of deglycosylation protocols available and a discussion of these related to Mucin can be found in Cao, Y. et al. (1997)(see references).

ELISA

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Physical form

Format: Purified
Purified immunoglobulin. Liquid in PBS containing 0.1% sodium azide.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months after date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

The MG1 population of mucins was isolated from human whole salivas by gel chromatography followed by isopycnic density gradient centrifugation. The reduced and alkylated MG1 mucins, separated by anion exchange chromatography, were of similar size (radius of gyration 55-64 nm)

The high-molecular-mass salivary mucin MG1, one of two major mucins produced by human salivary glands, plays an important role in oral health by coating the tooth surface and by acting as a bacterial receptor. Here this mucin was purified from
