MUC2 - mucin 2, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming Gene
Also Known as MLP; SMUC; MUC-2
Species: Homo sapiens
About MUC2
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 116 orthologues and 19 paralogues. Biased expression in colon (RPKM 65.6), small intestine (RPKM 19.0) and 2 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the Mucin protein family. Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins produced by many epithelial tissues. The protein encoded by this gene is secreted and forms an insoluble mucous barrier that protects the gut lumen. The protein polymerizes into a gel of which 80% is composed of oligosaccharide side chains by weight. The protein features a central domain containing tandem repeats rich in threonine and proline that varies between 50 and 115 copies in different individuals. Downregulation of this gene has been observed in patients with Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
