Descripción

General description

Mucin 2, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming (MUC2) is encoded by the gene mapped within 400kb on human chromosome 11p15.5. The encoded protein has a molecular mass of ~550 kDa and is expressed at high levels in the intestine and at lower levels in the respiratory tree. Mucin is a key component of mucus and it consists of one partial von Willebrand domain (vWD) at N- terminal and two complete domains including CysD domain and two proline, threonine and serine (PTS) domains that become densely O-glycosylated to form the prolonged mucin domains.

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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mucin 2, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming (MUC2) acts as a major constituent of the two-layered mucous structure in the colon. MUC2 in the outer mucous layer provides the habitat for the commensal flora and in the stratified inner mucous layer it protects the epithelial cells from bacteria invasion. The encoded protein controls expression and antimicrobial activity of β-defensin 2. Deficiency of MUC2 mucin might lead to opportunistic microbial invasion and/or impaired innate responses.
