Abstract

This review is devoted to generalization of the main provisions of the structure, regulation of formation, physiological functions, and participation in pathological processes of the main component of all mucous high-molecular glycoprotein mucin. Examples of biomedical application of mucins from various sources, including genetic engineering, and prospects for their use for diagnostics and creation of new drugs are considered.
