Mechanism of lacritin-dependent production of the important dry eye mucin 'MUC16'
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Lacritin targets its coreceptor 'syndecan-1' in lacritin-dependent production of the important dry eye mucin 'MUC16'. Real-time PCR analysis suggests that this effect is post-transcriptional. In contrast, serum stimulation of MUC16 by these cells is transcriptionally dependent. Our goal is to determine whether this regulation is global to other heavily O-glycosylated proteins, and if so, if it is dependent on transcription of a Golgi glycosyltransferases. If not, the mechanism might be microRNA dependent.
