Human Mucin-5AC (MUC5AC) ELISA Kit

A high-quality sandwich ELISA from Assay Genie for the quantitative measurement of human Mucin-5AC (MUC5AC) levels. The assay uses a colorimetric detection method and is reactive with human samples, including serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids.

The kit provides a detection range of 0.78-50 ng/mL with a sensitivity of 0.195 ng/mL. Reported precision includes an intra-assay CV of 4.4% and an inter-assay CV of 7.1%. Specificity is established for natural and recombinant human Mucin-5AC. The target is a secreted, gel-forming glycoprotein of gastric and respiratory tract epithelia that protects the mucosa from infection and chemical damage by binding to inhaled microorganisms and particles that are subsequently removed by the mucociliary system.

MUC5AC is a key mucin protein involved in mucin formation and secretion within the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Dysregulation of MUC5AC expression has been associated with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis, making it a relevant biomarker for disease research and therapeutic development.
