Mucins have been found to have important functions in defense against bacterial and fungal infections. MUC5B, the predominant mucin in the mouth and female genital tract, has been …

Mucin genes were identified from MUC1 to MUC22 in the order of discovery, and are largely divided into secretory and membrane-related types. Among them, MUC1, 2, 3 and 4 are …

Mucins are a family of high molecular weight, heavily glycosylated proteins that are classified into 2 groups: membrane-bound mucins (eg, MUC1, MUC3, and MUC4) involved in signal …

Epithelia are protected from adverse conditions by a mucous barrier. The secreted and transmembrane mucins that constitute the mucous barrier are largely unrecognized as …

2018年2月1日 · Mucins are the main structural components of mucus that create a selective protective barrier for epithelial surface and also execute wide range of other physiological …

2021年9月21日 · Generating the barriers that protect our inner surfaces from bacteria and other challenges requires large glycoproteins called mucins. These come in two flavors, gel-forming …

2019年3月14日 · All three mucin types, trans-membrane (e.g., MUC1, MUC4, MUC16), secreted (gel-forming) (e.g., MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC6) and soluble (non-gel-forming) (e.g., MUC7, …

There are three specific mucins found within the endometrium (MUC1, MUC4, and MUC16) and are the major constituents of mucus, wherein their primary functions include lubrication and …

In Human there are two types of mucins, membrane-bound and secreted that are originated from mucous producing goblet cells localized in the epithelial cell layer or in mucous producing …

Secreted mucins are highly glycosylated proteins that form a physical barrier, which protects epithelial cells from stress-induced damage. Transmembrane mucins also contribute to the …
