Overview
| Product name | Recombinant Human MUC-16/CA125 Protein |
|---|
| Catalog No. | RP01839 |
|---|
| Description | Recombinant Human MUC-16/CA125 Protein is produced by HEK293 cells expression system. The target protein is expressed with sequence (Gly12660-Met12923) of Human MUC-16/CA125 (Accession #NP_078966.2) fused with a hFc tag at the C-terminus. |
|---|
| Bio-Activity | Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized human Mesothelin/MSLN (Catalog: RP01053) at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind human MUC16(Catalog: RP01839) with a linear range of 0.05-4.12 ng/mL.

Background
The CA125, also known as the MUC16, is a mucin protein that may be found in type I transmembrane or secreted forms that are used monitor the progress of epithelial ovarian cancer therapy. The CA 125 molecule is almost certainly a glycoprotein with a predominance of O-linkages. It is heterogeneous with regard to both size and charge, most likely due to continuous deglycosylation of side chains during its life-span in bodily fluids. It exists as a very large complex (perhaps as much as 4 million daltons) under natural conditions.

Usage guide
| Storage | Store at -20℃.Store the lyophilized protein at -20℃ to -80 ℃ up to 1 year from the date of receipt.
After reconstitution, the protein solution is stable at -20℃ for 3 months, at 2-8℃ for up to 1 week. |
|---|
| Reconstitution | Centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL in sterile distilled water. Avoid vortex or vigorously pipetting the protein. For long term storage, it is recommended to add a carrier protein or stablizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose), and aliquot the reconstituted protein solution to minimize free-thaw cycles. |
