Recombinant full-length human protein was used as the immunogen for the recombinant Gastric Mucin antibody.
Mucins are a group of high molecular weight glycoproteins consisting of a mucin core protein and O-linked carbohydrates. Mucin 6 carries GlcNAc. Thyroid hormone binding to thyroid receptors inhibits Mucin 5AC gene expression. Mucin 5AC/Gastric Mucin is also expressed in normal endocervical epithelium, small intestine, gastric cells (Lewis type 1) and gastric metaplasia and it is one of the major mucins in the ethmoid mucosa.
