| Description: | Mucin 1, known as MUC1, is a multifunctional protein expressed on the apical surface of most epithelial cells. MUC1/Muc1 in promotes cell growth and survival. MUC1 does have an exceptionally strong glycan-dependent apical targeting signal that can redirect a basolaterally expressed protein to the apical cell surface in polarized epithelia. Mucin-1/MUC1 protein and its α subunit have dual functions of adhesion and anti-adhesion proteins, forming a protective layer on epithelial cells. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
