Mucin

Mucini su familija proteina visoke molekulske mase, koji su ekstenzivno glolozilovani (glikokonjugati). Njih proizvode epitelna tkiva većine životinja.^[1] Ključna karakteristika mucina je njihova sposobnost formiranja gelova, te su stoga oni ključna komponenta većine želatinoznih sekrecija. Oni imaju mnoštvo funkcija, od lubrikacije do ćelijske signalizacije do formiranja ćelijskih barijera.^[1] Oni često imaju inhibitornu ulogu.^[1] Neki mucini su vezani za kontrolu mineralizacije,^[2] kalcifikacije ehinoderma^[3] i formiranja kostiju kod kičmenjaka.^[4] Oni se vezuju za patogene kao deo imunksog sistema. Prekomerno izražavanje mucinskih proteina, posebno MUC1 je vezano za mnoge tipove kancera.^[5]

Geni

Postoji najmanje 19 mucinskih gena kod čoveka: MUC1, MUC2, MUC3A, MUC3B, MUC4, MUC5AC, MUC5B, MUC6, MUC7, MUC8, MUC12, MUC13, MUC15, MUC16, MUC17, MUC19, i MUC20.^[6]

U vazdušne kanale se prvenstveno izlučuju MUC5AC i MUC5B, dok se MUC2 uglavnom izlučuje u creva.
