MUC-17 分子背景
Membrane mucins have several functions in epithelial cells including cytoprotection, extravasation during metastases, maintenance of luminal structure, and signal transduction. MUC17, contains an extended, repetitive extracellular glycosylation domain and a carboxyl terminus with two EGF-like domains, a SEA module domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain with potential serine and tyrosine phosphorylation sites. Interacts via its C-terminus with PDZK1 and this interaction appears important for proper localization. Probably plays a role in maintaining homeostasis on mucosal surfaces.
