But a key component of mucus versatility is a set of proteins called mucins.

但是黏多功能主要 来自於一组称为" 黏蛋白" 蛋白质。

The hydrophilic sugar chains help mucin dissolve in your body's watery fluids.

水糖链帮助粘蛋白溶解於你身体内体。

In mucin, long chains of sugars are attached to specific amino acids in the protein backbone.

在黏蛋白里，一长串糖 会黏着於特定氨基酸位於蛋白质骨干。

But mucus contains mucins, antimicrobial peptides, antibodies, and even bacteria-hungry viruses called bacteriophages that all work together to prevent biofilms from forming.

但黏包含黏蛋白，抗菌肽，抗体，还有能吞噬细菌病毒，叫做噬菌体。这些成分协同作用防止生物膜生成。

Saliva contains bicarbonate ions, which helps to neutralize acid in the mouth, and glycoproteins like mucin which thickens the saliva.

它包含着碳酸氢根离子，可以和口酸，还有糖蛋白，可以使唾变得粘稠。

Some of these mucins can interact with other mucin molecules to create a complex network that establishes a barrier against pathogens and other invaders.

一些黏蛋白可以和 其他黏蛋白分子结合，构建一个复杂保护屏障，来抵御病原体和其他侵入物。

I'm-a lock all that in with a essence, and mine is a snail mucin essence.

我是——用华锁住这一切，我是蜗牛粘蛋白华。

Normally mucin 1 goes to the surface of cells.

通常粘蛋白 1 会到达细胞表面。

I use this to rehydrate my face because the next step you need a moist face for snail mucin.

我用它来给我脸补充水分，因为下一步你需要一张湿润脸来补充蜗牛粘蛋白。

We hypothesized that the mutation in the MUC1 geneis generating a mucin 1 proteinthat is not doing what it is supposed to do.

我们假设 MUC1 基因突变产生了一种粘蛋白 1 蛋白，该蛋白没有发挥其应有作用。

Remember, we hypothesized that the mutation in the MUC-1 geneis generating a mucin 1 proteinthat is not doing what it is supposed to do.

请记住，我们假设 MUC-1 基因突变产生了一种粘蛋白 1 蛋白，该蛋白没有发挥其应有作用。

So normally the MUC1 gene churns out a protein called mucin 1, which goes to the surface of cellsand forms a protective blanket around them.

因此，通常情况下，MUC1 基因会产生一种称为粘蛋白 1 蛋白质，该蛋白质会到达细胞表面并在细胞周围形成一层保护毯。

This saliva contains a special ingredient called mucin, which is a protein that loves to soak up water, creating a kind of gel which forms a thin, protective coating all over your mouth parts.

这种唾含有一种特殊成分叫粘蛋白，它是一种喜欢吸收水蛋白质，它产生一种凝胶，而这个凝胶会在你口部分形成一层薄保护性涂层。
