Role of salivary mucins in the protection of the oral cavity
Abstract
Mucins are the principal organic constituents of mucus, the slimy visco‐elastic material that coats all mucosal surfaces. Compelling evidence suggests that they play an integral role in non‐immune protection of the oral cavity. Specific protective functions include: 1) protection against desiccation and environmental insult, 2) lubrication, and 3) antimicrobial effects against potential pathogens. Biosynthesis of mucin is regulated by both intrinsic (“cooperative sequential specificity”) and extrinsic (“structural modulation”) controls. These controls form the basis by which mucin's structure can be modified to meet a dynamically changing biological need.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
