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
