Active Recombinant Human MUC1 protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: MUC1-0502H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human MUC1 protein(Leu1036-Gly1155), fused with His tag, was expressed in HEK293.

Specification

• Source: HEK293
• Species: Human
• Tag: His
• Form: Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
• Bio-activity: Immobilized Human Mucin-1 (1036-1155), His Tag at 1 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Anti-Mucin-1 Antibody, Mouse IgG1 with a linear range of 0.2-6 ng/mL.
• Molecular Mass: This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The mature form of Mucin-1 is a non-covalent heterodimeric complex with the proteolytically cleaved partial α and partial β chain. Each partial α and partial β chain has a calculated MW of 7.2 kDa (partial α chain) and 8.2 kDa (partial β chain). The protein migrates as 13-15 kDa (partial α chain) and 10 kDa (partial β chain) under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
• Proteinlength: Leu1036-Gly1155
• Endotoxin: Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
• Purity: >90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Storage: Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. Avoid 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°C before opening to recover the entire contents.

Q&As

What are the structural characteristics of the MUC1 protein?

The MUC1 protein consists of a short extracellular region, a transmembrane region, and a long intracellular region. The extracellular region is rich in sugar chains, which make the MUC1 protein adherent.

What is the role of the MUC1 protein in cancer?

In cancer, the expression of the MUC1 protein usually increases abnormally and changes in glycosylation occur. This can affect cell adhesion, proliferation, and invasion, promoting the spread and metastasis of cancer cells.

Is the MUC1 protein involved in the immune system?

Yes, the MUC1 protein is closely related to the immune system. In some cases, abnormal expression of the MUC1 protein may interfere with the function of immune cells, thereby reducing the immune response.

In which diseases is MUC1 involved in the diagnosis and treatment?

MUC1 protein is overexpressed in many types of cancer, including breast, stomach, ovarian, and others. Therefore, the MUC1 protein can be a potential target for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

What are the main physiological functions of MUC1 protein?

The MUC1 protein mainly plays the role of protecting and lubricating the mucosal surface. It prevents bacteria and other pathogens from entering our body, while also helping to maintain cell-to-cell adhesion.

Is the MUC1 protein associated with other diseases?

MUC1 protein may be associated with a number of other diseases, such as lung infections and inflammatory bowel disease. However, the research related to cancer is more extensive and in-depth.
