In humans, saliva is produced by a mucin known as MUC7, but that compound is surprisingly not present in mice. Instead, their saliva is produced by an entirely different protein called MUC10.

While studying saliva, the researchers noticed that MUC7, a small salivary mucin in humans, was missing in mice, a species that expresses MUC10, another mucin of comparable size. While ...

A mesmerizing journey of evolution The researchers found that mice lacked MUC7, a tiny salivary mucin seen in humans. However, MUC10, a salivary mucin of comparable size, was present in the rodents.

He noticed that the primary mucin in human saliva, called MUC7, is absent in the rodents. Conversely, mice saliva is thickened with a mucin called MUC10 that humans lack. When he investigated ...

controls. The serous glandular cell-derived antimicrobial protein/peptide-related genes such as BPIFB3, BPIFB2, LPO, and MUC7 were remarkably reduced in NP, regardless of age. SERPINE1 gene ...

We collected coding and non-coding sequences from 20 mammalian-specific genes (PRM3, CSN1S1, LCE6A, IL2, MUC7, NNAT, IGIP, SMCP, DCD, and MYEOV), and GCR images were generated from these genes. Five ...

Specifically, researchers have focused on a gene called MUC7, which codes for a protein found in saliva. A team led by Omer Gokcumen and Stefan Ruhl of the State University of New York at Buffalo ...

Younger adults had four times greater elasticity (Spinnbarkeit) with MUC7 levels almost double and 66% greater resting salivary flow rate. Stimulated salivary responses in the younger group were also ...
