Background:  The mucins are a family of highly glycosylated, secreted proteins with a basic structure consisting of a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs). Membrane-associated and secretory mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins of the glycocalyx (polysaccharide biofilm) that protects mucosal epithelium from particulate matter and microorganisms. Epithelial mucins are large, secreted and cell surface glycoproteins crucial for adhesion modulation, signaling and epithelial cell protection. The number of repeats is highly polymorphic and varies among different alleles. The mucin family consists of Mucins 1-4, Mucin 5 (AC and B), Mucins 6-8, Mucins 11-13 and Mucins 15-17. Mucin 15 is involved in cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix. It is primarily expressed in prostate, testis, lung, spleen, thymus, ovary, small intestine, colon, bone marrow, lymph node, lung and peripheral blood leukocytes. Mucin 15 is a highly glycosylated protein.
