Anti-MUC5AC (Mucin 5AC / Gastric Mucin)(1-13M1), CF488A conjugate, 0.1mg/mL

This mucin is present in primary ovarian mucinous cancer but usually absent in colorectal adenocarcinoma, thus showing an expression pattern opposite to MUC2. Together with a panel of antibodies, anti-MUC5AC may be useful for differential identification of primary mucinous ovarian tumors from colon adenocarcinoma metastatic to the ovary. MUC5AC antibodies may also be useful for identification of intestinal metaplasia as well as in the identification of pancreatic carcinoma and pre-cancerous changes vs. normal pancreas. Concentration: 0.1 mg/mL Storage buffer: PBS, 0.1% BSA, 0.05% azide
