MUC7 molecule
MUC7 molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of the protein MUC7 (mucin 7). Mucins key characteristic is their ability to form gels. They are therefore a key component in most gel-like secretions, serving functions from lubrication to cell signalling to forming chemical barriers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the MUC7 molecule, a protein known for its crucial role in various biological processes. The computer-generated model beautifully illustrates the ribbon-like arrangement of this biomolecule against a striking black background. MUC7 is a type of mucin, and one of its remarkable properties lies in its ability to form gels. This unique characteristic makes it an essential component in numerous gel-like secretions found within our bodies. From providing lubrication to facilitating cell signaling and even forming chemical barriers, mucins like MUC7 play diverse roles vital for our well-being. The molecular model depicted here serves as a visual representation of the complex architecture that underlies these important functions. Its detailed cut-out design allows us to appreciate the intricacies involved in this protein's structure and function. Notably present in saliva and mucus secretions, MUC7 acts as a lubricant while also contributing to maintaining healthy oral hygiene. Beyond that, it plays significant roles in other bodily fluids where gel formation is necessary for proper physiological functioning. This stunning artwork from Science Photo Library provides both scientists and enthusiasts with an insightful glimpse into the world of biochemistry and proteomics. It highlights not only the beauty but also the critical importance of proteins like MUC7 within our biological systems.
