Description

Gastric Mucin CAS NO 251101-47-0 is a high-purity, naturally derived glycoprotein complex extracted from the gastric mucosa. This biomolecule is essential for research and development in life sciences due to its unique protective and lubricating properties. It serves as a critical raw material for pharmaceutical formulation scientists, diagnostic developers, and researchers in gastroenterology and mucosal biology.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a bioadhesive agent and protective coating in gastro-retentive drug delivery systems and for mucosal drug absorption studies.
• In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Reagents: Acts as a key component in immunoassay buffers and coating antigens for the detection of gastrointestinal biomarkers and antibodies.
• Cell Culture & Research: Employed to simulate gastric mucosal conditions, study host-pathogen interactions (e.g., H. pylori), and investigate mucosal barrier function.
• Nutraceuticals & Cosmeceuticals: Incorporated into formulations for gut health supplements and skincare products for its moisturizing and protective benefits.
• Medical Device Coating: Applied to catheters and implants to improve biocompatibility and reduce irritation or inflammatory responses.
• Biomaterial Research: Serves as a model compound for developing mucoadhesive polymers and hydrogels in tissue engineering.
