MUC1 Antibody / Mucin-1

• Catalog Number: orb248470
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: This antibody recognizes proteins in MW range of 265-400kDa, identified as different glycoforms of MUC1 (Mucin-1) or EMA (epithelial membrane antigen). The MUC1 antibody reacts with the DTRP epitope in the tandem repeats. The alpha subunit has cell adhesive properties. It can act both as an adhesion and an anti-adhesion protein. MUC1 / Mucin-1 may provide a protective layer on epithelial cells against bacterial and enzyme attack. The beta subunit contains a C-terminal domain, which is involved in cell signaling through phosphorylations and protein-protein interactions. In immunohistochemical assays, the MUC1 / EMA antibody superbly stains routine formalin/paraffin carcinoma tissues. MUC1 antibody is useful as a pan-epithelial marker for detecting early metastatic loci of carcinoma in bone marrow or liver.
