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

但是黏液的多功能主要 来自於一组称为" 黏蛋白" 的蛋白质。

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的液体。

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

在黏蛋白里，一长串的糖 会黏着於特定的氨基酸位於蛋白质的骨干。

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

但黏液中包含黏蛋白，抗菌肽，抗体，还有能吞噬细菌的病毒，叫做噬菌体。这些成分协同作用防止生物膜的生成。

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，可以中和口腔中的酸，还有糖蛋白，可以使唾液变得粘稠。

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，构建一个复杂的保护屏障，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——用精华锁住这一切，我的是蜗牛粘蛋白精华。

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.

我用它来给我的脸补充水分，因为下一步你需要一张湿润的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 基因中的突变产生了一种粘蛋白 1 蛋白，该蛋白没有发挥其应有的作用。
