Human Mucin 2 (MUC2) ELISA Kit

MUC2 (Mucin 2) is the dominant gel-forming mucin secreted by intestinal goblet cells, forming the structural scaffold of the protective mucus layer that shields the gut epithelium from microbial and mechanical stress. Quantitative measurement of MUC2 in experimental samples supports research into mucosal barrier integrity, goblet cell differentiation, colitis models, and colorectal carcinoma biology.

This colorimetric ELISA from Assay Genie is configured as a 96-assay kit and accepts inputs including tissue homogenates and cell lysates prepared from intestinal or mucosal sources. Researchers working on inflammatory bowel disease models, gut microbiome interactions, and gastrointestinal oncology workflows commonly track MUC2 to monitor mucin depletion, restitution after epithelial injury, and tumor-associated shifts in mucin expression.

Running on a conventional antibody-capture microplate workflow, the kit is read on a standard absorbance plate reader, with reference standards supplied to build a calibration curve. Reagents require refrigerated storage between runs, and the product is designated for research use only, not for diagnostic procedures.
