Mucus glycoproteins mucin component

In higher organisms epithelia are covered by a protective gel layer defined as mucus. By weight, mucus consists mainly of water (95-99.5%) in which the mucous glycoprotein mucin (0.5-5 /o) is dispersed. Mucins are the major components responsible for the gel-like structure of the mucus. They possess a linear... [Pg.1170]
