Membrane-associated and secretory Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins of the glycocalyx (polysaccharide biofilm) that protects mucosal epithelium from particulate matter and microorganisms. Epithelial Mucins are large, secreted and cell surface glycoproteins crucial for adhesion modulation, signaling and epithelial cell protection. The number of repeats is highly polymorphic and varies among different alleles. The Mucin family consists of Mucins 1-4, Mucin 5 (AC and B), Mucins 6-8, Mucins 11-13 and Mucins 15-17. The Mucin 16 protein (also commonly referred to as CA125), encoded for by the gene MUC16, is a very high molecular weight tumor antigen consisting of three domains: a carboxy terminal domain, an extracellular domain and an amino terminal domain. Mucin 16, an ovarian cancer-associated antigen, is used as a marker to monitor the progress of epithelial ovarian cancer. It is a hydrophilic membrane-associated protein that may be involved in vitamin A functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anti-CA125 antibody is supplied as Purified (Mouse, Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone MUC16\/1860, Mouse IgG1, kappa, Unconjugated) and is designed to support common target-detection workflows after the on-page specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey elements and design rationale\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget:\u003c\/strong\u003e CA125\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocalization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cell surface, secreted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies reactivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Human\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplications (listed):\u003c\/strong\u003e IHC-P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConjugate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unconjugated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClone and antibody class:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone MUC16\/1860, Mouse IgG1, kappa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause antibody performance can depend on epitope context, sample preparation, and biological state, interpret signals using appropriate controls and orthogonal evidence when possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBiological background\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCA125 is referenced in public gene\/protein resources (e.g., UniProt and NCBI Gene), which provide curated names\/synonyms, protein features, and pathway context.
