| Gene summary | | Mucus is a viscoelastic substance that covers the epithelial surface of various tissues, providing lubrication and protection from environmental insults. The gel-like properties of mucus are generally attributed to the physical properties and structural features of gel-forming mucins, such as MUC19 (Chen et al., 2004 [PubMed 12882755]).[supplied by OMIM] |
