American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1991
Abstract Mucins produced by goblet cells of the respiratory mucosa are condensed while stored in secretory granules. Mucin condensation and its decondensation upon exocytosis can be explained by the theory of polymer gel phase transition. After the opening of a secretory pore, Ca2+ inside the granule is exchanged for extracellular Na+.

The present knowledge about ocular mucins is presented.Mucins are glycoproteins of high polymer structure. Following the classification of the Human Gene Mapping Committee, they are subdivided in MUC1-9. They are an important component of the tear film and are found in conjunctival and corneal ocular surface epithelia.

Mucins and Immune Reactions to Mucins in Ulcerative Colitis
Digestion, 2001Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease of undetermined etiology. Mucins, mainly produced by goblet cells, protect colon cells from various kinds of stress. Alteration in the quality or quantity of mucins may be the cause of the disease. Another possible cause is immune reactions to colonic cells.

Mucins and mucin binding proteins in colorectal cancer
Cancer and Metastasis Reviews, 2004Mucins are high-molecular weight epithelial glycoproteins with a high content of clustered oligosaccharides O-glycosidically linked to tandem repeat peptides rich in threonine, serine, and proline. There are two structurally and functionally distinct classes of mucins: secreted gel-forming mucins (MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B, and MUC6) and transmembrane mucins

Mucosal surfaces are exposed to the external environment and pathogens and are therefore protected by a secreted layer of mucus rich in mucin glycoproteins, which are the main components of mucus. Mucus provides physical protection and hydration, excludes pathogens, and is a reservoir for antimicrobial molecules.

Mucin Methods: Genes Encoding Mucins and Their Genetic Variation with a Focus on Gel-Forming Mucins
2011Mucin genes encode the polypeptide backbone of the mucin glycoproteins which are expressed on all epithelial surfaces and are major constituents of the mucus layer. Mucins are, thus, expressed at the interface between the external and the internal environment of the organism, and represent the first line of defence of our body.

[MUC genes: mucin or not mucin? That is the question].
Medecine sciences : M/S, 2004Mucins are macromolecules lying the cells in contact with external environment and protect the epithelium against constant attacks such as digestive fluids, microorganisms, pollutants, and toxins. Mucins are the main components of mucus and are synthesized and secreted by specialized cells of the epithelium (goblet cells, cells of mucous glands) or non
