mucinn.

Brit.

/ˈmjuːsɪn/, U.S.

/ˈmjus(ə)n/

Forms: 1800s– mucin, 1800s– mucine (now rare).

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French mucine.

Etymology: < French mucine (T. de Saussure 1833, in Bibliothèque universelle sci. et arts (Geneva) 53 266) < classical Latin mūcus mucus n. + French -ine -in suffix¹.

Biology and Medicine.

Originally: †a mucilaginous substance derived from gluten (obsolete). Later: any of a group of high-molecular-weight glycoproteins which are the main constituents of mucus and are found on the luminal surface of many glandular epithelial cells; such glycoproteins collectively; a secretion consisting of such glycoproteins. Also more generally (now rare): mucus; a mucoid substance.
