Subcellular Location: Secreted . Golgi apparatus . Cytoplasmic vesicle . Secreted, extracellular space. Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix . Secreted, extracellular exosome . Mitochondrion . Mitochondrion intermembrane space . Mitochondrion inner membrane . Mitochondrion outer membrane . Rough endoplasmic reticulum . Cell projection. Cell projection, cilium . Located preferentially in the ciliary rootlet and basal body of the connecting cilium of photoreceptor cells, and in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:9169133). It is only imported to mitochondria in the trabecular meshwork (PubMed:17516541). Localizes to the Golgi apparatus in Schlemm’s canal endothelial cells (PubMed:11053284). Appears in the extracellular space of trabecular meshwork cells by an unconventional mechanism, likely associated with exosome-like vesicles (PubMed:15944158). Localizes in trabecular meshwork extracellular matrix (PubMed:15944158). .; [Myocilin, C-terminal fragment]: Secreted.; [Myocilin, N-terminal fragment]: Endoplasmic reticulum. Remains retained in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Expression: Detected in aqueous humor (PubMed:12697062). Detected in the eye (at protein level) (PubMed:11431441). Widely expressed. Highly expressed in various types of muscle, ciliary body, papillary sphincter, skeletal muscle, heart, and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Expressed predominantly in the retina. In normal eyes, found in the inner uveal meshwork region and the anterior portion of the meshwork. In contrast, in many glaucomatous eyes, it is found in more regions of the meshwork and seems to be expressed at higher levels than in normal eyes, regardless of the type or clinical severity of glaucoma. The myocilin 35 kDa fragment is detected in aqueous humor and to a lesser extent in iris and ciliary body.
