Gene information for OVGP1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5016
Official gene symbolOVGP1
Full nameoviductal glycoprotein 1, 120kDa
Aliases,CHIT5,EGP,MUC9,OGP,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a large, carbohydrate-rich, epithelial glycoprotein with numerous O-glycosylation sites located within threonine, serine, and proline-rich tandem repeats. The gene is similar to members of the mucin and the glycosyl hydrolase 18 gene families. Regulation of expression may be estrogen-dependent. Gene expression and protein secretion occur during late follicular development through early cleavage-stage embryonic development. The protein is secreted from non-ciliated oviductal epithelial cells and associates with ovulated oocytes, blastomeres, and spermatozoan acrosomal regions. [provided by RefSeq]
