| Post Translational Modifications | Highly glycosylated. C-, N- and O-glycosylated. C-mannosylated in the Cys-rich subdomains probably on the first Trp residue of the WXXW motif. Highly O-glycosylated in the Ser/Thr-rich tandem repeat (TR) region. The repeat region is about 59% O-glycosylated with a high abundance of NeuAc(2)Hex(1)HexNac1-ol. |
| Function | Gel-forming mucin that is thought to contribute to the lubricating and viscoelastic properties of whole saliva and cervical mucus. |
