Abstract excerpt
1. Frog integumentary mucins (FIM-A.1, FIM-B.1 and FIM-C.1) consist of typical threonine-rich highly O-glycosylated (semi)repetitive domains, and cysteine-rich modules, i.e. the P-domain, the short consensus repeat and a region with high similarity to the C-terminal end of von Willebrand factor (designated here CC29-motif). 2. These modules are thought to be involved in protein-protein interactions and they have...
