• Target description: Mucin-1 (UniProt: P15941; also known as MUC-1, Breast carcinoma-associated antigen DF3, Cancer antigen 15-3, CA 15-3, Carcinoma-associated mucin, Episialin, H23AG, Krebs von den Lungen-6, KL-6, PEMT, Peanut-reactive urinary mucin, PUM, Polymorphic epithelial mucin, PEM, Tumor-associated epithelial membrane antigen, EMA, Tumor-associated mucin, CD227) is encoded by the MUC1 (also known as PUM) gene (Gene ID: 4582) in human. Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins that consist of a mucin core protein and O-linked carbohydrates. Mucins are present on the surface of, and are secreted by, many glandular epithelial cells. They provide a barrier between the luminal membranes of cells in the epithelium and their environment. Mucins consist of a nonglobular protein backbone (apomucin) and many O-linked glycans. Mucin-1 is a highly glycosylated, single-pass type I membrane protein that is exclusively located in the apical domain of the plasma membrane of highly polarized epithelial cells and is internalized and recycled to cell membrane following endocytosis. Its expression has been reported in airway passages and in breast and uterine tissue. It is also expressed in activated and unactivated T-cells. It is overexpressed in epithelial tumors, such as breast and ovarian cancers. Mucin-1 is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-23), which is subsequently removed to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 24-1158), a transmembrane domain (aa 1159-1181), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 1182-1255). It consists of an alpha (aa 24-1097) and a beta (aa 1098-1255) subunit. The alpha subunit forms a tight, non-covalent heterodimeric complex with the proteolytically-released beta-subunit. The alpha subunit has cell adhesive properties. The beta subunit contains a C-terminal domain which is involved in cell signaling, through phosphorylations and protein-protein interactions. Phosphorylation on tyrosine in the C-terminal region increases its nuclear location. Phosphorylation by PKC delta induces binding of Mucin-1 to beta-catenin and thus decreases the formation of the beta-catenin/E-cadherin complex. Mutations in MUC1 have been linked to Medullary cystic kidney disease that is characterized by formation of renal cysts at the corticomedullary junction and impaired renal function. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
