Recombinant Human MUC16 protein, His-Avi-tagged

• Cat.No.: MUC16-437H
• Product Overview: Human MUC16 Protein is expressed from mammalian with a His Tag and Avi Tag at the C-terminal. It contains Gly12660-Met12923.

Specification

• Description: MUC16, also known as the CA125 antigen, is a mucin protein that may be found in type I transmembrane or secreted forms that are used monitor the progress of epithelial ovarian cancer therapy. Thought to provide a protective, lubricating barrier against particles and infectious agents at mucosal surfaces. Binding to MSLN mediates heterotypic cell adhesion. This may contribute to the metastasis of ovarian cancer to the peritoneum by initiating cell attachment to the mesothelial epithelium via binding to MSLN.
• Source: HEK293
• Species: Human
• Tag: His-Avi
• Form: Supplied as 0. 22um filtered solution in PBS (pH 7. 4).
• Molecular Mass: The protein has a predicted MW of 31. 3 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 50- 80KDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result.
• Protein length: It contains Gly12660-Met12923.
• Endotoxin: Less than 0. 01EU per ug by the LAL method.
• Purity: > 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE; > 95% as determined by HPLC
• Storage: The product should be stored at -70°C. Please do not repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 ug/ul. Centrifuge the vial at 4℃ before opening to recover the entire contents.

Q&As

How does MUC16 interact with other components of the epithelial barrier and immune system?

MUC16 works with other mucins and immune components to maintain epithelial barrier function and immune responses.

How does MUC16 contribute to the formation of the mucosal barrier?

It aids in forming the mucosal barrier, protecting against pathogens and mechanical damage.

What potential therapeutic applications arise from targeting MUC16 in cancer treatment?

Targeting MUC16 in cancer therapy, especially in ovarian cancer, could be effective in inhibiting tumor growth and spread.

What is the impact of altered MUC16 activity on inflammatory and infectious diseases?

Altered MUC16 activity can impact the body's defense against inflammation and infection.

What is the primary role of MUC16 in epithelial cell function?

MUC16, a mucin protein, is essential for maintaining the protective mucous layer on epithelial surfaces.

What role does MUC16 play in cancer, particularly ovarian cancer?

MUC16 is associated with cancer progression, particularly in ovarian cancer, where it may facilitate tumor growth and metastasis.

How do genetic variations in MUC16 affect its function in mucosal protection and cancer development?

Genetic variations in MUC16 can lead to differences in mucosal integrity and potentially influence cancer susceptibility.
