Mouse Anti-Porcine Gastrokine 1 Monoclonal Antibody

Porcine gastrokine 1 (GKN1), analogous to its human counterpart, is a mucin-like protein that is predominantly expressed in the gastric mucosa. GKN1 plays a crucial role in the protection and maintenance of the gastric mucosal barrier, which is essential for the defense against acidic gastric juice, pepsin, and other potentially damaging agents. As a molecular target, GKN1 is significant due to its involvement in the gastric mucosal defense mechanism and its potential implications in the pathogenesis of gastric disorders, such as gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. Understanding the function of GKN1 in the gastric mucosa could provide insights into the development of therapeutic strategies for the treatment and prevention of these conditions.
