Mucin-5AC Antibody

Mucin-5 subtype AC, tracheobronchial (mucin-5AC) is a gel-forming glycoprotein of gastric and respiratoy tract epithelia that protects the mucosa from infection and chemical damage by binding to inhaled microrganisms and particles that are subsequently removed by the mucocilary system. Mucin-5AC is over-expressed in a number of carcinomas.
