Functional biology of intestinal goblet cells

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 1991
Goblet cells reside throughout the length of the small and large intestine and are responsible for the production and maintenance of the protective mucus blanket by synthesizing and secreting high-molecular-weight glycoproteins known as mucins.

The role of goblet cells and mucus in intestinal homeostasis

open access: yesNature Reviews Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2022
Mucus, produced by goblet cells, provides the intestinal tract with an additional layer of protection. This Review discusses the role of mucus and goblet cells in intestinal health and disease, and dissects the underlying regulatory mechanisms.

The airway goblet cell

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2003
The two principal features of airway goblet cells are rapid secretion of mucin onto the airway surface and increase in number (hyperplasia) with chronic inhaled 'insult'. The first is associated with homeostasis, the latter with pathophysiology. Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase (MARCKS) is a key molecule regulating mucin exocytosis, a process also ...
