QuickView for MUC5B (gene)


Gene Symbol:
MUC5B Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
Full name:
mucin 5B, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming
Synonyms:
MG1, MUC-5B, MUC5, MUC9, mucin-5B, cervical mucin MUC5B, high molecular weight salivary mucin MG1, mucin 5, subtype B, tracheobronchial, sublingual gland mucin
Genomic Location:
Chr 11: 1200872-1239982
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the mucin family of proteins, which are highly glycosylated macromolecular components of mucus secretions. This family member is the major gel-forming mucin in mucus. It is a major contributor to the lubricating and viscoelastic properties of whole saliva, normal lung mucus and cervical mucus. This gene has been found ...
