Description: Mucin 5B (MUC5B/Muc5b) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MUC5B gene and by the Muc5b gene in mouse. This gene encodes a member of the mucin family of proteins, which are highly glycosylated macromolecular components of mucus secretions. This family member is the major gel-forming mucin in mucus. It is a major contributor to the lubricating and viscoelastic properties of whole saliva, normal lung mucus and cervical mucus. This gene has been found to be up-regulated in some human diseases, including sinus mucosa of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), CRS with nasal polyposis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and H. pylori-associated gastric disease, and it may be involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases.
Immunogen: Recombinant human protein (amino acids A5688-V5762) was used as the immunogen for the MUC5B antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the MUC5B antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
