Abstract:
Mucins as highly glycosylated proteins comprise multiple functions like protection, homeostasis, immune defense, cell signaling. Various epithelial tissues including glandular structures express different specific mucin types. We investigated labial salivary glands in infants for the occurrence of MUC1, MUC2, MUC3, MUC4, MUC5AC, MUC5B, and MUC7 by immunohistochemistry. MUC1 and MUC4 were detected in serous and ductal glandular cells, partially intensified at the apical plasma membrane. MUC3 was...     »
