Mucin

CAS No.: 84195-52-8

Grade: br

Extraction source: bovine submandibular gland

Product Description: a dry powder suitable as a substrate for neuraminidase Bovine submaxillary mucin has a molecular weight of 4～40 × 105Da. The molecule consists of major and minor components with a protein moiety(36.6% of the molecula) and a carbohydrate moiety(56.7 of the molecule)

 Physicochemical properties : white 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. This product is only for scientific research

Storage: 2 ~ 8 ° C
