Gastric mucin

Gastric mucin is a glycoprotein with natural antibiotic function. Gastric mucin against Helicobacter pylori infection. Gastric mucin effectively scavenges hydroxyl radical. Gastric mucin play a major role in the protection of the gastrointestinal tract from acid, proteases, pathogenic microorganisms, and mechanical trauma[1][2][3].
