MUC-1 (CD227) is a member of the mucin family of proteins, characterized by high carbohydrate content (O-glycosylation) and been part of protective mucous barriers on epithelial surfaces. MUC-1 is bound to the membrane on the apical surface of epithelial cells and consists of a heterodimer formed by alpha (N-terminal) and beta (C-terminal) subunits, which are produced from proteolytic cleavage. The alpha subunit carries cell adhesion properties, while the beta subunit is involved in cell signaling. The MUC-1 gene contains a highly polymorphic variable number repeat domains, and alternative splicing yields multiple transcript variants. One variant, known as Y-LSP, lacks the mucin repeats and has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in mice. MUC-1 aberrant expression, cellular localization, and glycosylation have been associated with carcinomas. High level of MUC-1 expression has been linked with metastasis and poor prognosis. MUC-1, also known as Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6), has been detected at high levels in serum of patients with interstitial lung diseases such as allergic pneumonia and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. MUC-1 has been used as a biomarker of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Critically ill patients with COVID-19 often progress to ARDS, and MUC-1 has been connected with mortality and severity in patients with COVID-19.
Product Details
- Source
- Human MUC-1 (CD227), amino acid (Pro24-Gly167) (Accession: P15941), with a C-terminal His-TG-8His-GGQ, was expressed in 293E cells.
- Molecular Mass
- The 157 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 16.9 kD. The protein migrates at approximately 27 – 30 kD by SDS-PAGE in DTT-reduced and non-reduced conditions. The predicted N-terminal amino acid is Pro.
- Purity
- > 95%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE
- Formulation
- 0.22 µm filtered protein solution is in PBS, pH 7.2.
- Endotoxin Level
- Less than 0.1 EU per µg cytokine as determined by the LAL method
- Concentration
- 25 µg size is bottled at 200 µg/mL. 100 µg size and larger sizes are lot-specific and bottled at the concentration indicated on the vial. To obtain lot-specific concentration and expiration, please enter the lot number in our Certificate of Analysis online tool.
- Storage & Handling
- Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to 2 weeks at -20°C for up to six months, or at -70°C or colder until the expiration date. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or colder. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week and stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
- Activity
- When recombinant human MUC-1 (CD227) is immobilized at 2 µg/mL, it binds recombinant human Siglec-9-Fc chimera in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 for this effect is 1.6 – 8 µg/mL
