Mucin 16 Antibody (X325) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Mucin 16 in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Mucin 16, also known as CA125, is a high molecular weight glycoprotein encoded by the MUC16 gene, which plays a critical role in protecting and maintaining the epithelial lining, particularly in ovarian cancer. Mucin 16 consists of three distinct domains: a carboxy terminal domain, an extracellular domain, and an amino terminal domain, which contribute to function as a tumor-associated antigen. The extracellular domain facilitates interactions with other cells and the extracellular matrix, influencing cell signaling and adhesion processes. Mucin 16 is predominantly expressed on epithelial cell surfaces and secreted into bodily fluids, serving as a biomarker for monitoring epithelial ovarian cancer progression. The hydrophilic nature and membrane association of Mucin 16 suggest involvement in various physiological processes, including immune response modulation and cellular communication, making Mucin 16 a significant target for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications in oncology.
