Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human colon tissue using MUC2 Antibody antibody. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 2 minutes. The tissues were blocked with QuickBlock at room temperature for 30 minutes, washed with PBSand PBST, and then incubated with the primary antibody (HY-P84474, 1/500) overnight at 4℃. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Background

Function
MUC2 encodes the major gel-forming mucin produced by intestinal goblet cells and constitutes the structural backbone of the gastrointestinal mucus barrier, where it physically separates luminal microorganisms from the epithelial surface and supports mucosal homeostasis[4][5]. Mechanistically, MUC2 polymers form highly organized mucus networks that generate the characteristic inner and outer colonic mucus layers, thereby regulating microbial access, antigen exposure, and host defense responses[1][2]. Through these barrier functions, MUC2 contributes to intestinal immune regulation and maintenance of a stable microbiota, while defective synthesis, secretion, or organization of MUC2 compromises barrier integrity and promotes epithelial contact with bacteria[5][6]. In disease settings, dysregulated MUC2 production has been closely associated with inflammatory bowel disease and chronic intestinal inflammation, and experimental studies demonstrate that impairment of the MUC2 barrier increases susceptibility to colitis and inflammation-related pathology[2][6][3]. Compared with related membrane-associated mucins such as MUC1, MUC3, and MUC17, MUC2 is distinguished by its role as a secreted polymeric mucin that forms the bulk extracellular mucus scaffold rather than functioning primarily at the epithelial cell surface[3]. For experimental applications, MUC2 serves as a widely used biomarker of goblet cell differentiation, mucus barrier integrity, and host-microbiota interactions, making it a valuable target for studies investigating intestinal barrier dysfunction, mucosal immunity, and therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring mucus homeostasis[4][6].

Subunit
Homomultimer; disulfide-linked (PubMed:12374796, PubMed:31310764, PubMed:33031746, PubMed:35377815). The N- and C-terminus mediate their assembly into higher order structures to form filaments (PubMed:33031746, PubMed:35377815). The CTCK domains of two polypeptides associate in the endoplasmic reticulum to generate intermolecularly disulfide-bonded dimers (By similarity). These dimers progress to the Golgi apparatus, which is a more acidic environment than the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:33031746). Under acidic conditions, the N-termini form non-covalent intermolecular interactions that juxtapose assemblies of the third VWD domain (VWD3) from different CTCK-linked dimers (PubMed:33031746). The VWD3 assemblies then become disulfide bonded to one another to produce long, disulfide-linked polymers that remain highly compact until secretion (PubMed:33031746). Interacts with FCGBP (PubMed:19432394). Interacts with AGR2; disulfide-linked (PubMed:19359471)
