Product Overview

Description

This is a synthetic single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamer engineered to bind with high specificity to the Mucin 1 (MUC1) protein. It serves as a precise molecular probe for detecting cancer cells that overexpress MUC1 on their surface. Its ability to be labeled with reporters, such as fluorophores, makes it a valuable tool for developing novel diagnostic assays and targeted imaging systems for cancer.

Target Overview

Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a large, heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein found on the surface of most secretory epithelial tissues. In normal, healthy cells, it is expressed exclusively on the apical surface, where it contributes to lubrication and pathogen protection. In contrast, during malignant transformation (i.e., in carcinomas), MUC1 expression is frequently lost from the apical surface and becomes overexpressed across the entire cell membrane. This cancer-associated MUC1 also exhibits abnormal, truncated glycosylation, which exposes new protein epitopes. This combination of overexpression and altered structure makes MUC1 a prominent tumor-associated antigen and an ideal target for developing cancer-specific diagnostics and targeted therapies.
