Modulating Mucin Hydration and Lubrication by Deglycosylation and Polyethylene Glycol Binding
A key property of mucin glycoproteins is their exceptional capacity to hydrate and lubricate surfaces. In vivo, mucins assemble into mucus hydrogels that cover the epithelium and protect it from dehydration and shear stress. A better understanding of the origin of these properties could lead to new...
