Human Mucin 3 (MUC3) ELISA Kit

MUC3 (Mucin 3) is a membrane-associated glycoprotein expressed primarily on the apical surface of intestinal epithelial cells, where it contributes to the protective mucus barrier lining the gastrointestinal tract. The Assay Genie Human MUC3 ELISA Kit enables quantitative measurement of MUC3 protein in human tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants, supporting research into gut barrier integrity, mucosal immunity, and gastrointestinal disease mechanisms.

Using an absorbance-based readout compatible with standard microplate readers, the kit integrates into routine laboratory workflows. Investigators studying inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal carcinogenesis, host-microbe interactions at epithelial surfaces, and intestinal cell differentiation apply this assay to monitor MUC3 expression across experimental conditions. The 96 assays format accommodates medium-throughput study designs, and results are interpolated from a standard curve to yield absolute concentration values.

This quantitative approach is particularly valuable in studies where altered MUC3 expression is implicated in disease, including compromised intestinal barrier function in IBD and abnormal mucin glycosylation observed in gastrointestinal cancers. The kit is intended for research use only.
