About This Section

EntrezGene summary for MUC3A:
The mucin genes encode epithelial glycoproteins, some of which are secreted and some membrane
bound. Each of the genes contains at least one large domain of tandemly repeated sequence that
encodes the peptide sequence rich in serine and/or threonine residues, which carries most of the
O-linked glycosylation (Gendler and Spicer, 1995 [PubMed 7778880]).[supplied by OMIM]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MUC3A_HUMAN, Q02505
Function: Major glycoprotein component of a variety of mucus gels. Thought to provide a protective,
lubricating barrier against particles and infectious agents at mucosal surfaces. May be involved
in ligand binding and intracellular signaling
