Gastric Mucin(Cat No.:I020486)is a glycoprotein produced by epithelial cells in the stomach lining, playing a crucial role in protecting the gastric mucosa. It forms a gel-like barrier on the stomach’s inner surface, shielding it from acidic gastric secretions, digestive enzymes, and pathogens. This mucin barrier not only aids in preventing ulcers and gastric inflammation but also supports healthy digestion by facilitating smooth passage of food. Gastric Mucin is integral in research on gastrointestinal health, as it helps in studying protective mechanisms and developing treatments for gastric disorders.
