Description

Mucin 2 (MUC2) is an intestinal glycoprotein that functions to protect the gut lumen by forming an insoluble mucous barrier. Anti-MUC2 stains the colon, breast, and prostate, and the MUC2 IVD antibody is used clinically in gastrointestinal, colonic, breast and prostate neoplasia. This diagnostic grade MUC2 antibody detects goblet cells of the colon and colonic carcinomas, normal and neoplastic breast tissues, and prostate adenocarcinoma.
