MUC5B - mucin 5B, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as MG1; MUC5; MUC9; MUC-5B

Gene ID: 727897 | Gene type: protein coding

About MUC5B

Cytogenetic location: 11p15.5 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:1,223,066-1,262,172 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 151 orthologues, 19 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in gall bladder (RPKM 56.3), colon (RPKM 19.6) and 3 other tissues.

Summary

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 to be up-regulated in some human diseases, including sinus mucosa of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), CRS with nasal polyposis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and H. pylori-associated gastric disease, and it may be involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases.
