This gene encodes a member of the mucin protein family. Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins produced by many epithelial tissues. The protein encoded by this gene 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 this gene has been observed in patients with Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
Immunofluorescence analysis of A431 cells using MUC2 antibody(green). Blue: DAPI fluorescent DNA dye. Red: Actin filaments have been labeled with Omnimabs® 594-Phalloidin.Cells are fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 20 minutes. Then, they are permeabilized with a PBS (OM750003) solution containing 0.1% Triton X-100(OM750021) at room temperature for 15 minutes. Subsequently, the cells are blocked with 10% non - immune goat serum(OM760028) at room temperature for 1 hour.The cells are incubated overnight at 4°C with the primary antibody diluted 1:100 in PBS. The secondary antibody, Omnimabs® 488 Goat Ant-Rabbit IgG(H&L) (Green,OM643486), is diluted at a ratio of 1:400 and incubated with the cells for 1 hour.Nuclear DNA is labeled with DAPI (Blue,OM643160). F-actin is stained with Omnimabs® 594-Phalloidin (Red,OM750007) diluted 1:100 for 30 minutes.
