Secondary Information

Presence in other biological fluids/tissue/cells mammary gland, lungs, lymph nodes
Protein Function protection of epithelial surfaces, immune responses, adhesion, inflammation, tumor genesis
Biochemical Properties predominant amino acids - serine, threonine and proline; derived from a precursor sequence including a signal peptide, a serine/threonine/proline-rich extracellular region, a hydrophobic transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail;
Significance in milk associated with the milk fat globule membrane; function as a protective mucin, perhaps as a coconstituent with gel-forming mucins in mucus, or it may act at the apical cell surfaces as a ligand for other cell surface molecules
PTMs Heavily O-glycosylated; glycans are composed of fucose, galactose, mannose, N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglycosamine, and sialic acid; hybrid-type N-glycans - sialylated and contain terminal poly-lactosamine structures; O-linked glycans were found to constitute some unsubstituted Core- 1 structures and a substantial number of sialylated Core-1 O-linked glycans; complex O-glycans contain high amounts N-acetylglucosamine residues and a small subset of is decorated with lactosamine on their terminal ends

Significance of PTMs dense glycosylation in the mucin domain may primarily be to change the biophysical properties of the mucin; mucin glycans provide protective barriers, provide lubrication because of their water-binding capacity, and change the overall structure of the glycosylated region into an extended conformation
