Interpolated concentrations of native MUC2 in human colon and bladder cancer based on 10 μg/mL and 100 µg/mL extract loads, respectively.

The concentrations of MUC2 were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the MUC2 standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean MUC2 concentration was determined to be 27.28 ng/mL in colon tissue extract and 42.10 ng/mL in bladder cancer tissue extract.

Product details

Human MUC2 ELISA Kit ab282871 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human MUC2 in cell culture media, serum, tissue extracts. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 0.187 ng/mL.

How the assay works

Human MUC2 SimpleStep ELISA®employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details.

Assay Specificity

Our SimpleStep ELISA® kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Design your own immunoassay

We offer the antibody pair used in this kit in a BSA and Azide-free format, ready for conjugation:

- Anti-MUC2 antibody [EPR23479-88] - BSA and Azide free (Capture) ab281111
- Anti-MUC2 antibody [EPR23479-91] - BSA and Azide free (Detector) ab281111

MUC2 coats the epithelia of the intestines, airways, and other mucus membrane-containing organs. It is thought that MUC2 provides a protective, lubricating barrier against particles and infectious agents at mucosal surfaces. MUC2 is a major constituent of both the inner and outer mucus layers of the colon and may play a role in excluding bacteria from the inner mucus layer.

Target data

Coats the epithelia of the intestines and other mucus membrane-containing organs to provide a protective, lubricating barrier against particles and infectious agents at mucosal surfaces (PubMed : 17058067, PubMed : 19432394, PubMed : 33031746). Major constituent of the colon mucus, which is mainly formed by large polymeric networks of MUC2 secreted by goblet cells that cover the exposed surfaces of intestine (PubMed : 19432394, PubMed : 33031746). MUC2 networks form hydrogels that guard the underlying epithelium from pathogens and other hazardous matter entering from the outside world, while permitting nutrient absorption and gas exchange (PubMed : 33031746, PubMed : 36206754). Acts as a divalent copper chaperone that protects intestinal cells from copper toxicity and facilitates nutritional copper unptake into cells (PubMed : 36206754). Binds both Cu(2+) and its reduced form, Cu(1+), at two juxtaposed binding sites : Cu(2+), once reduced to Cu(1+) by vitamin C (ascorbate) or other dietary antioxidants, transits to the other binding site (PubMed : 36206754). MUC2-bound Cu(1+) is protected from oxidation in aerobic environments, and can be released for nutritional delivery to cells (PubMed : 36206754). Mucin gels store antimicrobial molecules that participate in innate immunity (PubMed : 33031746). Mucin glycoproteins also house and feed the microbiome, lubricate tissue surfaces, and may facilitate the removal of contaminants and waste products from the body (PubMed : 33031746). Goblet cells synthesize two forms of MUC2 mucin that differ in branched chain O-glycosylation and the site of production in the colon : a (1) 'thick' mucus that wraps the microbiota to form fecal pellets is produced in the proximal, ascending colon (By similarity). 'Thick' mucus transits along the descending colon and is lubricated by a (2) 'thin' MUC2 mucus produced in the distal colon which adheres to the 'thick' mucus (By similarity).
