Mucin-Type Glycoproteins
Abstract
Considerable advances have been made in recent years in our understanding of the biochemistry of mucin-type glycoproteins. This class of compounds is characterized mainly by a high level of O-linked oligosaccharides. Initially, the glycoproteins were solely known as the major constituents of mucus. Recent studies have shown that mucins from the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, salivary glands, sweat glands, breast, and tumor cells are structurally related to high-molecular-weight glycoproteins, which are produced by epithelial cells as membrane proteins. During mucin synthesis, an orchestrated sequence of events results in giant molecules of Mr 4 to 6 x 10(6), which are stored in mucous granules until secretion. Once secreted, mucin forms a barrier, not only to protect the delicate epithelial cells against the extracellular environment, but also to select substances for binding and uptake by these epithelia. This review is designed to critically examine relations between structure and function of the different compounds categorized as mucin glycoproteins.

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.
