The Mucins are a family of highly glycosylated, secreted proteins with a basic structure consisting of a variable number of tandem repeats. Mucin-3/MUC3 is a major glycoprotein component of a variety of mucus gels. Thought to provide a protective, lubricating barrier against particles and infectious agents at mucosal surfaces. May be involved in ligand binding and intracellular signaling. [UniProt]

Optimal dilution of the MUC3 antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Amino acids (C-HSTPSFTSSITTTETTSHSTPSFTSSITTTETTS) which contains two of the MUC3 tandem repeats was used as the immunogen for the MUC3 antibody.

Store the MUC3 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
