Human Mucin-12 (MUC12) ELISA Kit

MUC12 encodes an integral membrane glycoprotein that is a member of the mucin family. Mucins are O-glycosylated proteins that play an essential role in forming protective mucous barriers on epithelial surfaces and have been implicated in epithelial renewal and differentiation. These glycoproteins also play a role in intracellular signaling. Mucin-12 is expressed on the apical membrane surface of epithelial cells that line the mucosal surfaces of many different tissues including the colon, pancreas, prostate, and uterus. The expression of this gene is downregulated in colorectal cancer tissue.

Human Mucin-12 (MUC12) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human MUC12. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human MUC12 and analogues was observed.

This Human Mucin-12 (MUC12) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MUC12 in samples. An antibody specific for MUC12 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyMUC12 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MUC12 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of MUC12 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

• Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.• Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.• Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.• Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 °C in the sealed bag provided.• Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.• It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
