Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a small salivary mucin, which is thought to play a role in facilitating the clearance of bacteria in the oral cavity and to aid in mastication, speech, and swallowing. The central domain of this glycoprotein contains tandem repeats, each

Protein
UniProt ID Q8TAX7
Protein name Mucin-7 (MUC-7) (Apo-MG2) (Salivary mucin-7)
Protein function May function in a protective capacity by promoting the clearance of bacteria in the oral cavity and aiding in mastication, speech, and swallowing. Binds P.aeruginosa pili.
