MUC3 Antibody (MUC3/1154) [Alexa Fluor™ Plus 555] Summary

• Immunogen: A synthetic peptide of 35 amino acids, SIB35 (C-HSTPSFTSSITTTETTSHSTPSFTSSITTTETTS), which contains two of the MUC3 tandem repeats, coupled to KLH.
• Localization: Cytoplasmic and cell surface
• Specificity: It recognizes a protein of HMW, identified as mucin 3 glycoprotein (MUC3). This monoclonal antibody shows no cross-reaction with human milk fat globule membranes, MUC1, or MUC2. The Mucins are a family of highly glycosylated, secreted proteins with a basic structure consisting of a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) encoded by 60 base pairs (Mucin 1), 69 base pairs (Mucin 2) and 51 base pairs (Mucin 3). The number of repeats is highly polymorphic and varies among different alleles. Mucin 1 proteins are expressed as type I membrane proteins in addition to secreted forms. Mucin 1 is aberrantly expressed in epithelial tumors including breast carcinomas. Mucin 2 coats the epithelia of the intestines and airways and is associated with colonic tumors. Mucin 3 is a major component of various mucus gels and is broadly expressed in normal and tumor cells.

Background

The mucin genes encode epithelial glycoproteins, some of which are secreted and some membrane bound. Each of the genes contains at least one large domain of tandemly repeated sequence that encodes the peptide sequence rich in serine and/or threonine residues, which carries most of the O-linked glycosylation (Gendler and Spicer, 1995 (PubMed 7778880)).(supplied by OMIM)
