Mucin 6
Mucin 6, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming, also known as MUC6, is a human gene.
. Additionally, the high molecular weight of mucin allows the molecules to overlap and entangle when present in low concentrations.
PH dependence of adsorption.
Empirical data has shown that pH has an influence on the adsorption of mucin to surfaces. At pH 4, the adsorbed amount of mucin was higher, but the thickness of the layer was lower when compared to pH 6 environments. The increased amount of mucin adsorption can be explained by the high amount of protonated amino groups that are present at the pH 4 level that form
