Summary: Involved in several processes, including cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; cellular response to retinoic acid; and response to ozone. Located in extracellular space. Used to study chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; dry eye syndrome; gastric ulcer; and stomach disease. Biomarker of asthma; gastric ulcer; otitis media; pulmonary fibrosis; and rhinitis (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dry eye syndrome.

Rat Muc2 was expressed in fetal intestinal goblet cells of surface epithelium of villi and developing Lieberkuhn crypts. In neonates and adults, Muc2 was expressed at luminal goblet cells of small and large intestine and at gastric mucous and glandular cells. Muc5ac protein was observed in embryonic gastric and lung samples; expression increased during development and postnatal and adult life.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
