Description

ZG16B (zymogen granule protein 16B) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 17q12. It encodes a secreted protein that is highly expressed in the pancreas and is involved in the packaging and secretion of zymogen granules. The protein contains a jacalin-like lectin domain and may play a role in protein-protein interactions within secretory vesicles. ZG16B has been implicated in pancreatic cancer and other exocrine disorders.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Pancreatic cancer Altered expression of ZG16B may affect secretory function and tumor progression; downregulation observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. PMID: 25691468; COSMIC
Chronic pancreatitis Reduced ZG16B expression correlates with acinar cell damage and fibrosis. PMID: 25691468
Diabetes mellitus (type 2) Potential link through pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction; expression changes noted in islet cells. PMID: 25691468

Protein Summary

The ZG16B protein (UniProt Q96DA0) is a 167-amino acid secreted protein containing a jacalin-like lectin domain. It is localized to zymogen granules in pancreatic acinar cells and is involved in granule packaging and exocytosis. The protein is glycosylated and may interact with other granule components to facilitate secretion.
