Human MUC-17 Protein, His Tag

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.
