Granule-stored MUC5B mucins are packed by the non-covalent formation of N-terminal head-to-head tetramers

Most MUC5B mucin polymers in the upper airways of humans and pigs are produced by submucosal glands. MUC5B forms N-terminal covalent dimers that are further packed into larger assemblies because of low pH and high Ca(2+) in the secretory granule of the mucin-producing cell. We purified the recombina...
