Mesothelin (MSLN) is also known as CAK1 antigen, Pre-pro-megakaryocyte potentiating factor, which belongs to the mesothelin family. Mesothelin/MSLN can be proteolytically cleaved into the following two chains by a furin-like convertase: Megakaryocyte-potentiating factor (MPF) and the cleaved form of mesothelin. Both MPF and the cleaved form of mesothelin are N-glycosylated. Mesothelin/MSLN can interacts with MUC16. The membrane-anchored form of MSLN may play a role in cellular adhesion. MPF potentiates megakaryocyte colony formation in vitro. Mesothelin (MSLN) is a lineage restricted cell surface protein expressed in about 30% of human cancers and high MSLN expression is associated with poor survival in several different cancers. The restricted expression of MSLN in normal tissue and its frequent expression in cancers make MSLN an excellent target for antibody-based therapies.
