Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-MUC1 [C595 (NCRC48)]
  • Alternate names: CD227; KL6; Mucin 1; PEMT
  • Clone: C595 (NCRC48)
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Cancer type: Breast cancer; Gynaecologic cancer; Digestive / Gastrointestinal cancer;
  • Molecular weight of the target: 122 kDa
  • Application: ELISA ; FACS ; IHC ; WB
  • Description: MUC1/CA 15-3 is used as a serological clinical marker of breast cancer to monitor response to breast cancer treatment and disease recurrence. Decreased levels over time may be indicative of a positive response to treatment. Conversely, increased levels may indicate disease progression. At an early stage disease, only 21% of patients exhibit high MUC1/CA 15-3 levels, that is why CA 15-3 is not a useful screening test. Most antibodies target the highly immunodominant core peptide domain of 20 amino acid (APDTRPAPGSTAPPAHGVTS) tandem repeats. Some antibodies recognize glycosylated epitopes. Medullary cystic kidney disease 1.
  • Immunogen: Urinary MUC-1 mucin (Human)
  • Isotype: IgG3
  • Research area: Cancer; Cell biology; Genetics

  • For Research Use Only
