Abstract:
O-glycosylated glycoproteins are the main constituents of gastric mucus. They are responsible for its viscosity and for its gel-forming properties. Recent advances accomplished over the last years on its physical and chemical characterization are briefly reviewed. Many issues remain still unsettled concerning the modification of its structure and composition in diseases as well as details of its biosynthesis and its pharmacology.
