Description

The MUC3A (mucin 3A, cell surface associated) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.

MUC3A is a protein in humans that is encoded by the MUC3A gene.

MUC3A is a major glycoprotein component of various mucus gels. It is believed to act as a protective, lubricating barrier against particles and infectious agents at mucosal surfaces. Additionally, it may be involved in ligand binding and intracellular signaling.

MUC3A is also known as MUC-3A, MUC3.
