This Human Mucin 2 (MUC2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MUC2.

• Additional information:MUC2 encodes a member of the mucin protein family. Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins produced by many epithelial tissues. The protein encoded by MUC2 is secreted and forms an insoluble mucous barrier that protects the gut lumen. The protein polymerizes into a gel of which 80% is composed of oligosaccharide side chains by weight. The protein features a central domain containing tandem repeats rich in threonine and proline that varies between 50 and 115 copies in different individuals. Downregulation of MUC2 has been observed in patients with Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis.
