It weighs about 55 kDa and contains several key domains including a leucine zipper motif and an olfactomedin-like domain. Myocilin is abundantly expressed in the trabecular meshwork of the eye skeletal muscle heart and brain. The protein appears in both intracellular and secreted forms and undergoes glycosylation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThis protein plays an important role in the regulation of intraocular pressure by influencing the outflow of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork. It is also known to be part of a protein complex that interacts with other extracellular matrix components to maintain the structural integrity of tissues. Beyond the eye Myocilin similarly contributes to cellular processes in other tissues assisting in maintaining cellular structure and integrity.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nMyocilin functions within the Wnt signaling pathway and extracellular matrix-receptor interaction pathway. These pathways are significant in regulating cell growth adhesion and differentiation in various tissues. In the Wnt signaling pathway Myocilin interacts with proteins such as Frizzled receptors affecting the downstream effects on cell behavior and fate. In the extracellular matrix pathway Myocilin associates with collagens and laminins influencing tissue architecture and dynamics.\u003cbr\u003e\nMyocilin plays a significant role in glaucoma and Myocilin-related ocular hypertension. Glaucoma often involves elevated intraocular pressure due to impaired aqueous humor outflow in which mutated Myocilin may not function properly affecting cellular interactions and contributing to disease progression. Links have been identified with proteins like optineurin in the context of glaucoma where these proteins can collectively influence disease pathophysiology and lead to optic nerve damage if dysregulated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853957288105,"sku":"ab41552","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab41552","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
