Mucin-7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MUC7 gene. [3][4] In animals, the MUC7 gene is found in most placental mammals, but not marsupials. [5] Humans carry either a five or six tandem repeat version of the gene.

2024年12月25日 · MUC7 (Mucin 7, Secreted) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MUC7 include Asthma and Chronic Ethmoiditis. Among its related pathways are O-linked glycosylation of mucins and Metabolism of proteins.

2016年8月25日 · Our analyses revealed that (i) MUC7 has emerged in the placental mammal ancestor and rapidly gained multiple sites for O-glycosylation; (ii) MUC7 has retained its extracellular activity in saliva...

2018年2月1日 · Mucin 7 expression has been detected in submandibular, sublingual and labial salivary glands. MUC7, also known as low molecular weight human salivary mucin (MG2), has a molecular weight of 120–150 kDa with the core protein being 39 kDa.

Mucin 7 belongs to the class of secreted non-gel-forming mucins located on the chromosome locus 4q13.3 (Bobek et al., 1996). MUC7 was initially cloned from a human submandibular gland cDNA library (Bobek et al., 1993). It is synthesized by the serous cells of salivary gland. Mucin 7 expression has been detected in submandibular, sublingual and ...

2025年1月4日 · This gene encodes a small salivary mucin, which is thought to play a role in facilitating the clearance of bacteria in the oral cavity and to aid in mastication, speech, and swallowing. The central domain of this glycoprotein contains tandem …

Mucin 7 (MUC7) is a small soluble protein that is stored in secretory vesicles in cells and released upon stimulation. It is expressed in the human submandibular gland and trachea, and has distinct domains that contribute to its structure. MUC7 plays a …

This gene encodes a small salivary mucin, which is thought to play a role in facilitating the clearance of bacteria in the oral cavity and to aid in mastication, speech, and swallowing. The central domain of this glycoprotein contains tandem repeats, each composed of 23 amino acids.

Mucin 7 (called MUC7 or MG2) is a salivary protein whose fragments exhibit a strong antimicrobial activity and is a natural protection of organisms against pathogens. Up to date however the exact mechanism of their actions is unknown.

粘蛋白 7 (muc7) 是唾液蛋白之一，其在先天免疫系统中的作用众所周知，但其作用机制及其金属配位的影响仍不清楚。 MUC7 及其片段表现出强大的抗菌活性，可作为生物体对抗病原体的天然防御机制。
