Typical Standard Curve/Testing Data
Principle of the Assay: MUC1 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-MUC1 antibody and an MUC1-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with MUC1-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the MUC1 concentration since MUC1 from samples and MUC1-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-MUC1 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by MUC1 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind MUC1-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The MUC1 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a membrane-bound protein that is a member of the mucin family. Mucins are O-glycosylated proteins that play an essential role in forming protective mucous barriers on epithelial surfaces. These proteins also play a role in intracellular signaling. This protein is expressed on the apical surface of epithelial cells that line the mucosal surfaces of many different tissues including lung, breast stomach and pancreas. This protein is proteolytically cleaved into alpha and beta subunits that form a heterodimeric complex. The N-terminal alpha subunit functions in cell-adhesion and the C-terminal beta subunit is involved in cell signaling. Overexpression, aberrant intracellular localization, and changes in glycosylation of this protein have been associated with carcinomas. This gene is known to contain a highly polymorphic variable number tandem repeats (VNTR) domain. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
Uniprot Description
MUC1: a large cell surface glycoprotein expressed by most glandular and ductal epithelial cells and some hematopoietic cell lineages. Plays a role in adhesion and cell-cell interactions, metastasis and signaling. May provide a protective layer on epithelial surfaces. Direct or indirect interaction with actin cytoskeleton. Its cytoplasmic tail (MUC1CT) is involved in several signaling pathways, including those involving Ras, beta-catenin, p120 catenin, p53 and estrogen receptor alpha. MUC1CT also forms complexes with transcription factors, and then translocates to the nucleus by an unknown mechanism, where it is believed to influence the transcription of their target genes. MUC1CT has also been proposed to localize to mitochondrial membranes under conditions of genotoxic stress, where it attenuates the apoptotic pathway in response and confers resistance to apoptosis-inducing drugs. Aberrantly glycosylated forms expressed in human epithelial tumors, such as breast or ovarian cancer and also in non-epithelial tumor cells. Nine alternatively spliced isoforms have been described. Isoforms 5 and 9 are secreted. Isoform 7, expressed only in tumor cells, is a receptor and binds the secreted isoform 5. The binding induces the phosphorylation of the isoform 7, alters cellular morphology and initiates cell signaling. Can bind to GRB2 adapter protein.

Product Notes
The Porcine MUC1 muc1 (Catalog #AAA7246255) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7246255 ELISA Kit recognizes Porcine MUC1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Mucin-1, MUC1, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
