黏液素
A+医学百科 >> 黏液素 |
黏液素(英语:Mucins,或简称黏素)是一类高分子量蛋白家族,且高度糖基化(属于糖缀合物),在大部分后生动物的上皮组织中都有表达[1] Mucins' key characteristic is their ability to form gels; therefore they are a key component in most gel-like secretions, serving functions from lubrication to cell signalling to forming chemical barriers.[1]。They often take an inhibitory role.[1] Some mucins are associated with controlling mineralization, including nacre formation in mollusks,[2] calcification in echinoderms[3] and bone formation in vertebrates.[4] They bind to pathogens as part of the immune system. Overexpression of the mucin proteins, especially MUC1, is associated with many types of cancer.[5]
Although some mucins are membrane-bound due to the presence of a hydrophobic membrane-spanning domain that favors retention in the plasma membrane, most mucins are secreted onto mucosal surfaces or secreted to become a component of saliva.

基因
通过cDNA克隆发现了至少19个人类黏素基因——MUC1、MUC2、MUC3A、MUC3B、MUC4、MUC5AC、MUC5B、MUC6、MUC7、MUC8、MUC12、MUC13、MUC15、MUC16、MUC17、MUC19和MUC20[6]。
主要分泌于呼吸道的黏素是MUC5AC和MUC5B,而MUC2主要分泌于小肠,在呼吸道中也有出现。
