Multiplex immunohistochemistry - Anti-Mucin 5AC antibody [45M1] - BSA and Azide free (AB212636)

Fluorescence multiplex immunohistochemical analysis of the human stomach (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections). Panel A : merged staining of anti-Mucin 5AC (ab3649, gray; Opal™690), anti-MUC-6 (ab223846, green; Opal™520) and anti-Rab3D (ab128997, red; Opal™570) on human stomach. Panel B : anti-MUC-6 stained on mucous neck cells. Panel C : anti-Mucin 5AC stained on surface mucous cells. Panel D : anti-Rab3D stained on Chief cells. Opal Polymer HRP Ms + Rb was used as a secondary antibody. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. The section was incubated in three rounds of staining : in the order of ab3649 (1/5000 dilution), ab223846 (1/1000 dilution), and ab128997 (1/10000 dilution) for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution2) was used for 20 mins. DAPI (blue) was used as a nuclear counter stain. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope.

This data was developed using ab3649, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

Supplementary information

Mucin 5AC also known simply as MUC5AC is a high molecular weight glycoprotein with a mass in the megadaltons typically found in the human respiratory gastrointestinal and reproductive tracts. It is a major component of mucus which plays a critical role in protecting and lubricating the epithelial surfaces of these organs. MUC5AC is primarily expressed in the goblet cells of the respiratory epithelium and the stomach lining. Due to its significance researchers often use a MUC5AC ELISA or other detection methods such as tagging with Alexa Fluor 555 to measure its levels in various tissues.
Biological function summary

The functions of MUC5AC are central to the maintenance of the protective mucus barrier on epithelial surfaces preventing pathogen invasion and facilitating the clearance of inhaled particles. It is a part of the gel-forming mucin family and often forms complex structures by polymerizing with other mucins like MUC2 and MUC5B contributing to the viscoelastic properties of mucus. These interactions ensure the formation of a stable and robust mucosal barrier.

Pathways

The regulation of MUC5AC production involves several signaling pathways including the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) pathway and the IL-13/STAT6 pathway. These pathways influence mucin production and secretion particularly in response to growth factors and inflammatory cytokines. Proteins such as 13M1 and 11M1 interact with MUC5AC within these pathways modulating its expression and function. This regulation is essential for normal mucus homeostasis and response to environmental challenges.

MUC5AC has a strong association with respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In these diseases the overproduction or altered composition of MUC5AC contributes to airway obstruction and reduced pulmonary function. MUC5AC levels can be indicative of disease severity and are often measured via tests like the 5AC blood test. In these contexts proteins such as 5AC protein and 45M1 are often studied for their roles in facilitating disease progression and as potential therapeutic targets to modulate mucin levels in affected individuals.

Target data

Gel-forming glycoprotein of gastric and respiratory tract epithelia that protects the mucosa from infection and chemical damage by binding to inhaled microorganisms and particles that are subsequently removed by the mucociliary system (PubMed : 14535999, PubMed : 14718370). Interacts with H.pylori in the gastric epithelium, Barrett's esophagus as well as in gastric metaplasia of the duodenum (GMD) (PubMed : 14535999).
