MUC1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein mucin 1, cell surface associated, which is encoded by the MUC1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in DNA damage pathways and the regulation of apoptosis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 1255 residues and a mass of 122.1 kDa. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is noted to be expressed on the apical surface of epithelial cells, especially of airway passages, breast and uterus. As many as 17 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated, N-glycosylated, palmitoylated, cleaved and phosphorylated. The MUC1 gene has been associated with the disease, Tubulointerstitial kidney disease. Other alias names for this target include ADMCKD1, ADTKD2, CA 15-3, CD227, Ca15-3, EMA, H23AG, and ADMCKD.
There are MUC1 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 15.625 pg/mL and as high as 1000 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
