Searching the Evolutionary Origin of Epithelial Mucus Protein Components—Mucins and FCGBP

The gel-forming mucins are large glycosylated proteins that are essential components of the mucus layers covering epithelial cells. Using novel methods of identifying mucins based on profile hidden Markov models, we have found a large number of such proteins in Metazoa, aiding in their classificatio...
