Anti-MUC3/MUC3A/MUC3B Antibody Picoband® (Cy3 Conjugate)

MUC3 consists of two genes, MUC3A and MUC3B, each encoding membrane-bound mucins possessing 2 epidermal growth factor-like domains. The MUC3 gene is mapped to chromosome 7. It was showed that synthetic peptide-mediated upregulation of MUC3 dramatically inhibited adherence of enteropathogenic E. coli or enterohemorrhage E. coli serotype O157:H7 to HT-29 human intestinal epithelial cells. Peptide stimulation altered expression of a number of transcription factors, including upregulation of SP1, CREB1, and CDX2. These transcription factors bound to consensus sites in the MUC3 promoter upon peptide stimulation and likely mediated MUC3 upregulation.

Major glycoprotein component of a variety of mucus gels. Thought to provide a protective, lubricating barrier against particles and infectious agents at mucosal surfaces (By similarity). .
