A Preliminary Study Examining the Binding Capacity of Akkermansia muciniphila and Desulfovibrio spp., to Colonic Mucin in Health and Ulcerative Colitis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Akkermansia muciniphila and Desulfovibrio spp. are commensal microbes colonising the mucus gel layer of the colon. Both species have the capacity to utilise colonic mucin as a substrate. A.

Up-regulation of MUC2 and IL-1β expression in human colonic epithelial cells by Shigella and its interaction with mucins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundThe entire gastrointestinal tract is protected by a mucous layer, which contains complex glycoproteins called mucins. MUC2 is one such mucin that protects the colonic mucosa from invading microbes.

Mucin1 and Mucin16: Therapeutic Targets for Cancer Therapy
Pharmaceuticals, 2021 The mucin (MUC) family is a group of highly glycosylated macromolecules that are abundantly expressed in mammalian epithelial cells. MUC proteins contribute to the formation of the mucus barrier and thus have protective functions against infection ...

Stimulation of neutrophil oxidative burst by calcium phosphate particles with adsorbed mucin
Russian Open Medical Journal, 2021 Objective — Mucin can promote formation of gallstones via precipitation with calcium phosphate. The proinflammatory effect of mucin-coated particles is still unclear, and our aim was to study the role of mucin sorption in activation of neutrophil ...
