The biochemical and molecular characterisation of respiratory mucins in TB [PDF]
, 2006 Includes bibliographical references (leaves 96-112).The role of the dominant respiratory mucins (MUC5AC and MUC5B) and MUC2 has been investigated in chronic airway diseases as it is the mucin glycoprotein that confers upon mucus its biological ...

Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore-Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)While the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii can evade insect humoral immunity, its subversion of cellular defenses is still elusive. We identify Eac1 as a spore‐coat protein essential for infecting drosophilids by targeting atypical mucins (Sgf1 and Sgf2), which can entrap spores in a gel matrix and thereby facilitate hemocyte encapsulation.

The isolation, purification, tissue localization and identification of a glycoprotein found in the crude mucus gel of patients with carcinoma of the stomach [PDF]
, 2008 Includes bibliographical references (leaves 101-138).The thin layer of crude mucus lining the human gastric mucosa protects the delicate gastric epithelium from the high shear forces associated with digestion. Gastric mucus is composed largely of water (>

Flagellin is essential for initial attachment to mucosal surfaces by Clostridioides difficile
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Mucins are glycoproteins which can be found in host cell membranes and as a gelatinous surface formed from secreted mucins. Mucosal surfaces in mammals form a barrier to invasive microbes, particularly bacteria, but are a point of attachment for others ...

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2019 Mucins and mucin-like molecules are highly O-glycosylated proteins present on the cell surface of mammals and other organisms. These glycoproteins are highly diverse in the apoprotein and glycan cores and play a central role in many biological processes ...
