Product Specific Information
Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.
This affinity-purified antibody is directed against human MUC4 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross reactivity with MUC4 from human based on 100% sequence homology with the immunogen. Reactivity with MUC4 from other sources is not known.
Target Information
Nearly all mucosal surfaces are protected by mucin transmembrane glycoproteins, from bronchioles to corneas to reproductive tracts. Mucin 4 (MUC4) is membrane-bound and is important in protecting and lubricating. MUC4 expression is erroneous in many carcinomas and sarcomas, including fibromyoxoid sarcoma and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining for MUC4 has been discussed as a potential biomarker for detection of these cancers. MUC4 seems to be most predominantly affected in Asian diseases - Taiwanese infertility and endometriosis, as well as gallstone formation in Chinese men, are connected to MUC4, where similar diseases in other populations do not share these MUC4 mutations. Because MUC4 is so important in mucosal surface protection, it is not surprising that it has been implicated as failing in many metastatic cancer invasions.
