description | Mucins are high-molecular-weight glycoproteins present on all mucosal surfaces. Mucins are characterised by the presence of tandemly repeated amino acid sequences, the mucin domains that contain high amounts of serine and threonine and thus create an attachment point for O-linked glycosylation [].Epiglycanin/mucin-21 (MUC21) is a transmembrane mucin that modulates cell adhesion [, ]. |
