  • Function

    Membrane-anchored forms may play a role in cellular adhesion.
    Megakaryocyte-potentiating factor (MPF) potentiates megakaryocyte colony formation in vitro.

  • Tissue specificity

    Expressed in lung. Expressed at low levels in heart, placenta and kidney. Expressed in mesothelial cells. Highly expressed in mesotheliomas, ovarian cancers, and some squamous cell carcinomas (at protein level).

  • Involvement in disease

    Note=Antibodies against MSLN are detected in patients with mesothelioma and ovarian cancer.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the mesothelin family.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Both MPF and the cleaved form of mesothelin are N-glycosylated.
    Proteolytically cleaved by a furin-like convertase to generate megakaryocyte-potentiating factor (MPF), and the cleaved form of mesothelin.

  • Cellular localization

    Secreted and Cell membrane. Golgi apparatus.
  • Information by UniProt
