What Is the Function of Mucin in Saliva? (reference.com)
A critical function of mucin in saliva is to protect the mouth from drying out. (reference.com)
Mucin is a glycosated protein, which means that it is coated with carbohydrates. (reference.com)
This coating allows mucin to hold on to water and protects protein from being broken down. (reference.com)
When a person chews food, saliva in the mouth softens it and threads of mucin and quantities of water hold it together in a bolus. (reference.com)
