The Mucins are a family of highly glycosylated, secreted proteins with a basic structure consisting of a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) encoded by 60 base pairs (Mucin 1), 69 base pairs (Mucin 2) and 51 base pairs (Mucin 3A and Mucin 3B). The number of repeats is highly polymorphic and varies among different alleles. Mucin 1 proteins are expressed as type I membrane proteins in addition to secreted forms. Mucin 1 is aberrantly expressed in epithelial tumors including breast carcinomas. Mucin 2 coats the epithelia of the intestines and airways and is associated with colonic tumors. Mucin 3A and Mucin 3B are major components of various mucus gels and, while Mucin 3A is broadly expressed in normal and tumor cells, Mucin 3B is predominantly expressed in adult and fetal small intestine and colon. Mucin 3B is a major component of mucus gels and is thought to provide protective lubrication against infectious particles at mucosal surfaces.
