Used in research settings to quantitatively measure Rat Mucin 6 (MUC6) levels in biological samples such as tissue homogenates, serum, or cell culture supernatants. This ELISA kit is particularly useful in studies related to gastrointestinal tract physiology and pathology, as MUC6 is predominantly expressed in gastric and biliary mucous glands. It supports investigation into mucosal defense mechanisms, inflammation, infection responses (such as Helicobacter pylori), and pre-cancerous or cancerous changes in the stomach lining. The assay aids in biomarker validation and evaluation of therapeutic interventions targeting mucin expression or mucosal integrity in rodent models.
