MyBioSource.com's MUC1 Rabbit pAb is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blot. The MUC1 Rabbit pAb Antibody was generated using MUC1 as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
The alpha subunit has cell adhesive properties. Can act both as an adhesion and an anti-adhesion protein. 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. Modulates signaling in ERK, SRC and NF-kappa-B pathways. In activated T-cells, influences directly or indirectly the Ras/MAPK pathway. Promotes tumor progression. Regulates TP53-mediated transcription and determines cell fate in the genotoxic stress response. Binds, together with KLF4, the PE21 promoter element of TP53 and represses TP53 activity.MiscellaneousThe name KL-6 was originally that of a murine monoclonal antibody reacting with pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell lines and pulmonary epithelial cells. This antibody recognizes a sialylated carbohydrate chain on MUC1. CautionO-glycosylation sites are annotated in first sequence repeat only. Residues at similar position are probably glycosylated in all repeats. Experimental sites were determined in a synthetic peptide glycosylated in vitro (PubMed: 7744025, PubMed: 9597769)
