Mucin-like glycopolymer gels in electrosensory tissues generate cues which direct electrolocation in amphibians and neuronal activation in mammals

Mucin-like glycoproteins have established roles in epithelial boundary protection and lubricative roles in some tissues. This mini-review illustrates alternative functional roles which rely on keratan sulphate and sialic acid modifications to mucin glycopolymers which convey charge properties sugges...
