| has gloss | eng: Mucins are a family of high molecular weight, heavily glycosylated proteins (glycoconjugates) produced by epithelial tissues in most metazoans. Mucins' key characteristic is their ability to form gels; therefore they are a key component in most gel-like secretions, serving functions from lubrication to cell signalling to forming chemical barriers. , calcification in echinoderms and bone formation in vertebrates. They bind to pathogens as part of the immune system. Overexpression of the mucin proteins, especially MUC1 is associated with many types of cancer. |

| has gloss | ces: Mucin je označení pro velkou skupinu glykoproteinů. Jsou součástí cytoplazmatické membrány, ale i extracelulární matrix. Ve velkých koncentracích se nacházejí na sliznicích a ve slinách. Tvoří též hlen (mukus). Muciny jsou dále obsažené ve slinách, kde usnadňují polykání a chrání ústa před poškozením. |

| has gloss | deu: Mucine (von lat. mucus = „Schleim“), sind der strukturgebende Bestandteil des Schleims auf den Schleimhäuten (Mucosa). Mucine sind Glykoproteine, also Makromoleküle aus einer zentralen Proteinkette und langen Seitenketten aus Zuckerverbindungen (Polysacchariden). Die Polysaccharide verleihen den Mucinen eine hohe Wasserbindungskapazität und schützen das zentrale Protein vor enzymatischem Abbau (Proteolyse). Mucine spielen eine Rolle für die Barrierefunktion der Schleimhäute und die Adhäsion. |

| has gloss | fra: Les mucines sont une famille de grandes protéines, fortement glycosylées entrant dans la composition de nombreux mucus. Bien que certaines mucines soient liées aux membranes cellulaires à cause de la présence d'un domaine hydrophobe autour de la membrane qui favorise la rétention dans la membrane plasmique. |
