This gene encodes a member of the mucin protein family.
Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins secreted by many epithelial tissues to form an insoluble mucous barrier.
The C-terminus of this family member associates with the multifunctional docking site of the MET proto-oncogene and suppresses activation of some downstream MET signaling cascades.
The protein features a mucin tandem repeat domain that varies between two and six copies in most individuals.
Multiple variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 3, has been identified.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot.
Other applications not tested.
