Upper Airway Mucin Gene Expression: A Review

18 Apr 2007

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: The gel-like properties of mucus depend primarily on its content of mucins. The protein backbones of mucins are encoded by mucin genes. Of the currently known 20 mucin genes that encode protein backbone of mucins, 16 have been identified in the airways. METHOD: We explored the current knowledge about upper airway mucin expression in health and disease conditions using a Medline search. We have also...
