Thermo Scientific Chemicals Mucin, Bovine Submaxillary Gland

Mucin, CAS # 84195-52-8, is a high molecular weight glycoprotein, and is a major constituent of saliva, gastrointestinal juices, and other secretions. It is used as a substrate for the viral enzyme neuraminidase.

Mucin is used in a study to investigate a galactose-specific lectin from the red marine alga Ptilota filicina. Mucin from bovine submaxillary glands has also been used in a study to investigate the characterization of a unique mucin-like glycoprotein secreted by a human endometrial adenocarcinoma cell line, neuraminidase substrate.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

General Description

• Mucin derived from the bovine submaxillary gland is a glycoprotein present in saliva, gastrointestinal juices, and other secretions that promote cilia lubrication

Application

• Mucin can be used as a source of O-linked oligosaccharides for the viral enzyme, neuraminidase
• Mucins are glycoproteins with roles in immunity and digestion
