MUC6 [clone CLH5], anti-human

Description: Mucin 6 (Muc-6 Glycoprotein). 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.Localization: cytoplasm, secretedDilution: 25-100Positive Control: stomachHIER: citrate pH6.0 or EDTA pH8.0Status: RUO
