Mucin

Other names: mucin II; Mucin III; Gastrotensin

CAS No.: 84082-64-4

Grade: br

Bound sialic acid：0.5～1.5%

Physicochemical Properties: white to light yellow or yellowish brown powder. The sugar chain of mucin accounts for more than 50% of the total molecular weight, sometimes up to 80%. Monosaccharides are bound to the side chains of nuclear proteins by O-glycosidic bonds and covalently bound to each other to form huge molecules with a molecular weight of millions. The molecule contains a large amount of water, forming a colloid and covering the mucosal surface.

Purpose: biochemical research. Mucin is the main component produced by epithelial cells and plays a role in protecting and lubricating cells.

Storage: 2 ~ 8 ° C
