Name : Human MUC1 Isoform Y Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human MUC1 Isoform Y Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Ser24-Gly158.[Accession | P15941-7]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 41.38 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 55-65 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE> 95% as determined by HPLC

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt.-80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution.2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human MUC1 Isoform Y on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human MUC1 Isoform Y is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC.

Background :
MUC1, the transmembrane glycoprotein Mucin 1, is usually found to be overexpressed in a variety of epithelial cancers playing an important role in disease progression. MUC1 isoforms such as MUC1/Y, which lacks the entire variable number of tandem repeat region, are involved in oncogenic processes by enhancing tumour initiation. MUC1/Y is therefore considered a promising target for the identification and treatment of epithelial cancers.

Synonyms :
MUC1/Y; MUC1; MUC-1; Mucin-1; Mucin1; CA 15-3; Episialin; H23AG; KL-6; PEMT; PUM; PEM; EMA; CD227;
