Human Mucin 13, Cell Surface Associated (MUC13) ELISA Kit

The Mucin 13 (MUC13) protein is a single-pass transmembrane mucin expressed on the apical surface of gastrointestinal epithelial cells, with documented overexpression in colorectal, pancreatic, ovarian, and gastric cancers. Aberrant MUC13 levels have been linked to tumor cell proliferation, migration, and modulation of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling through interactions with HER2/ErbB2 in epithelial tumors.

This quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie is configured to measure human MUC13 protein in tissue homogenates and cell lysates, supporting oncology research, biomarker discovery, and studies of mucin-mediated epithelial biology. Each kit includes a pre-coated microplate, lyophilized standards, detection antibodies, and assay buffers, supplied in a single-use format sufficient for 96 determinations. The workflow runs on standard microplate readers and uses standard laboratory equipment, with all reagents validated for research use only.

Typical applications include profiling MUC13 abundance in resected tumor specimens, characterizing changes in mucin expression during epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and investigating MUC13 as a candidate biomarker in gastrointestinal disease research. The kit is intended for research use only and is not validated for diagnostic procedures.
