Mucins aren't enzymes (as far as we know!), and the gut mucins are a bit different from those found on the endothelium, largely because they have different functions. The gut (and generally mucous epithelial) mucus is there for (amongst other things) clearing and maintaining a microbiome. Endothelial glycocalyx probably has some other mucin proteins, but also likely lots of mucin-like proteins, and the set of functions of these are much less clear. |
