Mucin 16 (MUC16, MUC-16, CA125, CA-125, Cancer Antigen 125, FLJ14303, Mucin 16 Cell Surface Associated, Cancer-related Tumor Marker CA125, Ovarian Carcinoma Antigen CA125)

MUC16/CA125 antigen is a serum marker that is used routinely in gynecologic practice to monitor patients with ovarian cancer. It is a mullerian duct differentiation antigen that is overexpressed in epithelial ovarian cancer cells and secreted into the blood, although its expression is not entirely confined to ovarian cancer. Most biochemical studies have concluded that MUC16/CA125 is a high molecular mass glycoprotein. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:16,000 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and...
