Target

  • Function

    Gel-forming glycoprotein of gastric and respiratoy tract epithelia that protects the mucosa from infection and chemical damage by binding to inhaled microrganisms and particles that are subsequently removed by the mucocilary system.
  • Tissue specificity

    Highly expressed in surface mucosal cells of respiratory tract and stomach epithelia. Overexpressed in a number of carcinomas. Also expressed in Barrett's esophagus epithelium and in the proximal duodenum.
  • Sequence similarities

    Contains 1 CTCK (C-terminal cystine knot-like) domain.
    Contains 3 TIL (trypsin inhibitory-like) domains.
    Contains 4 VWFC domains.
    Contains 4 VWFD domains.
  • Domain

    The cysteine residues in the Cys-rich subdomain repeats are not involved in disulfide bonding.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    C-, O- and N-glycosylated. O-glycosylated on the Thr-/Ser-rich tandem repeats. C-mannosylation in the Cys-rich subdomains may be required for proper folding of these regions and for export from the endoplasmic reticulum during biosynthesis.
    Proteolytic cleavage in the C-terminal is initiated early in the secretory pathway and does not involve a serine protease. The extent of cleavage is increased in the acidic parts of the secretory pathway. Cleavage generates a reactive group which could link the protein to a primary amide.
  • Cellular localization

    Secreted.

    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.

Asked on Nov 13 2015

Answer

Unfortunately, the specific epitope of ab3649 has not been mapped to our knowledge, so we do not know where within the Mucin 5AC protein the antibody binds.

Answer

Thank you for getting back to me and for providing some experimental details.

The protocol looks fine to me. It may well be that the antibody has been damaged during storage or shipment.

This antibody has not been tested with Mouse in IHC-P in the Lab but based on these 3 specification, it is suitable for immonohistochemistry on murine samples.

As our Abpromise indicates, in the event that a product is not functioning in the applications/species cited on the product data sheet (and the problem has been reported within 6 months of purchase) we will happily offer a credit note/refund to the value of the product purchased.

Would you be so kind to confirm the Abcam Order Number or the PON? This information is necessary for me to have to proceed with your enquiry.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I am sorry to hear that you have been experiencing problems using this product in the application that you wish.

In order to assess the quality of our products I would ask that you complete a brief questionnaire relating to the application used. Often it is possible to make suggestions that may help resolve problems experienced using a particular product.

Question

I thank you very much for your support regarding MUC5ac antibody and offer for a free sample but yesterday I have just ordered the antibody from Sapphire (money is not a problem, I hope the ab will work).

I have some experience with IHC (see below) but if you have any information about the use of this Ab on tissues (fixation, blocking, diluents etc) I will be grateful if you can share it with me (good or bad I will share the data on this Ab with you). I have a question if you do not mind, how is it that monoclonal antibodies produced by the same clone (45MI) that are supposed to react with the same epitope are reacting with different hosts (ab11335 is reacting with Mouse, Rat, Rabbit, Chicken, Cat, Human, Pig, Monkey, Hedgehog while ab3649 is reacting with humans and probably rat)?

Answer

Thank you for your reply.

To clarify, the discount I offered is not a free sample, but can be used to get a free antibody on a future order after submitting an Abreview for ab79082.

This antibody was validated using formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue, or formaldehyde-fixed frozen tissue. In IHC-P, antigen retrieval was performed using citrate buffer, pH 6 in the microwave. Sections were blocked using BSA or normal serum from the host species of the secondary antibody. The antibody was diluted 1:50 - 1:100 in PBS and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature or overnight at 4C.

We would expect ab3649 and ab79082 to give the same results in all applications and speciesbecause they are the same clone. In very rare instances, the conjugated forms will behave differently, which is why we do not automatically add all of the applications and speciesto every datasheet for the same clone. The tested applications and specieslisted on our datasheets reflect what hasbeen tested using that particular format.

I hope this helps, please let me know if you need any additional information or assistance.
