The membrane-bound mucins, MUC17 (human) and Muc3 (mouse), are highly expressed on the apical surface of intestinal epithelia and have cytoprotective properties. Their extracellular regions contain two EGF-like Cys-rich domains (CRD1 and CRD2) connected by an intervening linker segment with SEA module (L), and may function to stimulate intestinal cell restitution. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of size, recombinant host source, and external tags on mucin CRD1-L-CRD2 protein activity.
