Mucin 1 / EMA / Episialin / CD227(MUC1/845) , Biotin conjugate , 0.1mg / mL

In Western blotting , it recognizes proteins in MW range of 265-400 kDa , identified as different glycoforms of EMA. Thealpha subunit has cell adhesive properties. It can act both as an adhesion and an anti-adhesion protein. EMA may provide a protective layer on epithelial cells against bacterial and enzyme attack. The beta subunit contains a C-terminal domain , which is involved in cell signaling , through phosphorylations and protein-protein interactions. In immunohistochemical assays , it superbly stains routine formalin/paraffin carcinoma tissues. Antibody to EMA is useful as a pan-epithelial marker for detecting early metastatic loci of carcinoma in bone marrow or liver._x000D__x000D_Primary antibodies are available purified , or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets , because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors._x000D_
