| Purity | Mucin is prepared by the method of Nisizawa and Pigman [The composition and Properties of the Mucin Clot from Cattle Submaxillary Glands, Arch. Oral Biol., 1:16 (1959)]. Bovine sub-maxillary glands are blended in a phosphate buffer, the material is filtered followed by a pH adjustment, then centrifuged and the ppt is resuspended; a final pH adjustment is made and the material is put in dialysis prior to lyophilization. | ||
| Form | Supplied as a lyophilized powder. | ||
| Reactivity life | 12 months | ||
| Note | For reserch purpose only | ||
| Description | Mucins are glycoproteins abundant with O-linked oligosaccharides secreted by epithelial mucous membranes. Their protective function is due to their high viscosity. Bovine submaxillary mucin has a molecular weight of 4-40 X 10e5 daltons. The molecule consists of major and minor components with a protein moiety (36.6% of the molecule) and a carbohydrate moiety (56.7% of the molecule). Mucins are heavily glycosylated glycoproteins, which constitute the major components of mucus which cover the surface of epithelial tissues. Nine distinct epithelial mucin genes (Muc-1, 2, 3, 4, 5AC, 5B, 6,7 and 8) have been identified. Various immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization studies have shown that these mucins are differentially expressed in epithelia with cell-type specificity. Muc-5AC and Muc-6 glycoproteins are the first two mucins found in superficial epithelium and Muc-6 glycoprotein is found in the deep glands. Applications: Suitable as a substrate for neuraminidase assays. Quality Control: SDS-PAGE Storage and Stability: Stable for 6 months at 4ºC. Protect from moisture | ||
