Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Mucin-5B (MUC-5B) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MUC5B gene
[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] Muc5b gene in the mouse. It is one of the five gel-forming mucins . MUC-5B can be found in whole saliva, normal lung mucus, and cervical mucus. In some diseases, such as COPD , chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), and H. pylori [ 9]
