Mucins: Methods and Protocols in Molecular Biology

"The study of mucins requires specialized techniques to handle their high molecular weight, heavy O-glycosylation, and complex rheological properties. Within the Methods in Molecular Biology series, "Mucins: Methods and Protocols" provides the definitive framework for isolating these glycoproteins, analyzing their glycan structures via mass spectrometry, and evaluating their functional roles in health and disease. Mucins are the primary structural components of the mucus layers that protect epithelial surfaces throughout the human body. Because they are among the largest and most complex molecules in biology—often exceeding several million Dal..."
