Background Information

Mucin glycoproteins (Mucins) are major constituents of the glycocalyx that covers mucosal epithelium. MUC8 is one of the major mucins in the ethmoid mucosa and is upregulated by chronic inflammation. TNFa, IL-1b and a combination of both can significantly increase Mucin 8 mRNA levels, suggesting that a mixture of inflammatory mediators can synergistically increase secretion of mucin in human nasal epithelium. This antibody is specific to MUC8.
