MUC1
-
Official Full Name
mucin 1, cell surface associated
-
Overview
This gene encodes a membrane-bound protein that is a member of the mucin family. Mucins are O-glycosylated proteins that play an essential role in forming protective mucous barriers on epithelial surfaces. These proteins also play a role in intracellular signaling. This protein is expressed on the apical surface of epithelial cells that line the mucosal surfaces of many different tissues including lung, breast stomach and pancreas. This protein is proteolytically cleaved into alpha and beta subunits that form a heterodimeric complex. The N-terminal alpha subunit functions in cell-adhesion and the C-terminal beta subunit is involved in cell signaling. Overexpression, aberrant intracellular localization, and changes in glycosylation of this protein have been associated with carcinomas. This gene is known to contain a highly polymorphic variable number tandem repeats (VNTR) domain. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011] -

Q&As (6)
Ask a questionThe MUC1 protein consists of a short extracellular region, a transmembrane region, and a long intracellular region. The extracellular region is rich in sugar chains, which make the MUC1 protein adherent.
In cancer, the expression of the MUC1 protein usually increases abnormally and changes in glycosylation occur. This can affect cell adhesion, proliferation, and invasion, promoting the spread and metastasis of cancer cells.
Yes, the MUC1 protein is closely related to the immune system. In some cases, abnormal expression of the MUC1 protein may interfere with the function of immune cells, thereby reducing the immune response.
MUC1 protein is overexpressed in many types of cancer, including breast, stomach, ovarian, and others. Therefore, the MUC1 protein can be a potential target for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
The MUC1 protein mainly plays the role of protecting and lubricating the mucosal surface. It prevents bacteria and other pathogens from entering our body, while also helping to maintain cell-to-cell adhesion.
MUC1 protein may be associated with a number of other diseases, such as lung infections and inflammatory bowel disease. However, the research related to cancer is more extensive and in-depth.
