Extracellular Protease Activity of Enteropathogenic Escherechia coli on Mucin Substrate
Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2007 Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) causes gastrointestinal infections in human. EPEC invasion was initiated by attachment and aggressive colonization on intestinal surface. Attachment of EPEC alter the intestine mucosal cells.

Regulated Mucin Secretion from Airway Epithelial Cells
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013 Secretory epithelial cells of the proximal airways synthesize and secrete gel-forming polymeric mucins. The secreted mucins adsorb water to form mucus that is propelled by neighboring ciliated cells, providing a mobile barrier which removes inhaled ...

Mucins and the Microbiome [PDF]
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2020 Generating the barriers that protect our inner surfaces from bacteria and other challenges requires large glycoproteins called mucins. These come in two types, gel-forming and transmembrane, all characterized by large, highly O -glycosylated mucin domains that are diversely decorated by Golgi

Steroidal but not embryonic regulation of mucin 1 expression in bovine endometrium
The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2021 In cow herd management, inadequate embryo implantation leads to pregnancy loss and causes severe economic losses. Thus, it is crucial to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying endometrial receptivity and subsequent embryo implantation ...
