Gene: MUC7

Variant information Variant position: help 80 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Type of variant: help LB/B The variants are classified into three categories: LP/P, LB/B and US.
  • LP/P: likely pathogenic or pathogenic.
  • LB/B: likely benign or benign.
  • US: uncertain significance

Residue change: help From Asparagine (N) to Lysine (K) at position 80 (N80K, p.Asn80Lys). Indicates the amino acid change of the variant. The one-letter and three-letter codes for amino acids used in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot are those adopted by the commission on Biochemical Nomenclature of the IUPAC-IUB.
Physico-chemical properties: help Change from medium size and polar (N) to large size and basic (K) The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score: help 0 The score within a Blosum matrix for the corresponding wild-type to variant amino acid change. The log-odds score measures the logarithm for the ratio of the likelihood of two amino acids appearing by chance. The Blosum62 substitution matrix is used. This substitution matrix contains scores for all possible exchanges of one amino acid with another:
  • Lowest score: -4 (low probability of substitution).
  • Highest score: 11 (high probability of substitution).

Polymorphism: help The most common allele, MUC7*6, contains a tandem repeat domain comprising 6 repeats (shown here) each composed of 23 amino acids. These repeats are very similar but not identical. In a large cohort of 375 individuals from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, three different alleles were detected, MUC7*6 being the most common, in all populations studied, followed by MUC7*5 (5 repeats), with frequency varying from 0.05 in Africans to 0.22 in East Asians. The MUC7*5 allele is less prevalent in patients with asthma than in controls, and seems to have a protective role in respiratory function. MUC7*8 (8 repeats), a novel rare allele, was identified in 1 Northern European individual. Additional information on the polymorphism described.

Sequence information Variant position: help 80 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 377 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help RKSYKCLHKRCRPKLPPSPN N PPKFPNPHQPPKHPDKNSSV The residue change on the sequence. Unless the variant is located at the beginning or at the end of the protein sequence, both residues upstream (20) and downstream (20) of the variant will be shown.
Sequence annotation in neighborhood: help The regions or sites of interest surrounding the variant. In general the features listed are posttranslational modifications, binding sites, enzyme active sites, local secondary structure or other characteristics reported in the cited references. The "Sequence annotation in neighborhood" lines have a fixed format:
  • Type: the type of sequence feature.
  • Positions: endpoints of the sequence feature.
  • Description: contains additional information about the feature.
TypePositionsDescription
Chain 23 – 377 Mucin-7
Region 70 – 100 Disordered
Compositional bias 74 – 92 Pro residues
