MUC4 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein mucin 4, cell surface associated, which is encoded by the MUC4 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cell matrix adhesion. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 5412 residues and a mass of 542.3 kDa. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be expressed in the thymus, thyroid, lung, trachea, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, testis, prostate, ovary, uterus, placenta, and mammary and salivary glands. As many as 14 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated, N-glycosylated and cleaved. Other alias names for this target include HSA276359, mucin-4, ascites sialoglycoprotein, mucin 4, tracheobronchial, pancreatic adenocarcinoma mucin, and ASGP.
The detection range for different MUC4 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 10 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
