msgO
msgO is a protein found in humans and other mammals. It belongs to a family of proteins known as mucins, which are characterized by their high content of O-glycosylated serine and threonine residues. These complex sugar chains are attached to the protein backbone and play a significant role in the protein's function and physical properties.
The primary function of msgO is believed to be related to lubrication and protection. Like other mucins,
msgO is encoded by the MUC7 gene. Its expression pattern suggests it is particularly important in the
