Biological background
MUC16 (protein: Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (Lamp2)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Thought to provide a protective, lubricating barrier against particles and infectious agents at mucosal surfaces. . Reported cellular localization context: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Secreted, extracellular space. May be liberated into the extracellular space following the phosphorylation of the intracellular C-terminus which induces the proteolytic cleavage and liberation of the extracellular domain. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed in corneal and conjunctival epithelia (at protein level). Overexpressed in ovarian carcinomas and ovarian low malignant potential (LMP) tumors as compared to the expression in normal ovarian tissue and ovarian adenomas. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Cancer,Cell Type Markers,Cytoskeleton/ECM,ECM Proteins,Extracellular Matrix,Invasion/Microenvironment,Signal Transduction,Tags & Cell Markers,Tumor Antigens,Tumor Associated,Tumor Biomarkers,Tumor Immunology,Tumor-Associated Antigens.
- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate MUC16 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect MUC16 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect MUC16 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 80 kDa; calculated MW: 1519175 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
