Source
Human Mucin-1 (890-1158), His Tag (MU1-H52H9) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Ser 890 - Gly 1158 (Accession # P15941-1).
Predicted N-terminus: Ser 890 (partial α chain) & Ser 1098 (partial β chain)
Molecular Characterization

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The mature form of Mucin-1 is a non-covalent heterodimeric complex with the proteolytically cleaved partial α and partial β chain. Each partial α and partial β chain has a calculated MW of 21.3 kDa (partial α chain) and 8.4 kDa (partial β chain). The protein migrates as 40-80 kDa (partial glycosylated α chain) and 10 kDa (partial β chain) when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method / rFC method.
Purity
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
>95% as determined by SEC-MALS.
Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Background
Membrane mucins have several functions in epithelial cells including cytoprotection, extravasation during metastases, maintenance of luminal structure, and signal transduction. MUC17, contains an extended, repetitive extracellular glycosylation domain and a carboxyl terminus with two EGF-like domains, a SEA module domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain with potential serine and tyrosine phosphorylation sites. Interacts via its C-terminus with PDZK1 and this interaction appears important for proper localization. Probably plays a role in maintaining homeostasis on mucosal surfaces.
