Protein Domain : Mucin-like glycoprotein IPR000458

Type	Family
Description	This family of trypanosomal proteins resemble vertebrate mucins. The protein consists of three regions. The N and C terminii areconserved between all members of the family, whereas the central region is not well conserved and contains a large number ofthreonine residues which can be glycosylated [ ].Indirect evidence suggested that these genes might encode the core protein of parasite mucins, glycoproteins that were proposed to beinvolved in the interaction with, and invasion of, mammalian host cells.
Short Name	Tryp_mucin
