Description

Gastric Mucin is a high-purity, naturally derived glycoprotein complex, primarily sourced from porcine gastric mucosa. This compound is critical for its unique bioadhesive and protective properties, serving as a key functional ingredient and research model. It is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, biomedical, and nutraceutical industries. Gastric Mucin CAS NO 251101-46-9 is valued for its ability to mimic biological barriers and its role in advanced formulation development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a bioadhesive agent in controlled-release drug delivery systems and gastro-retentive formulations.
• Biomedical Research: Serves as a critical substrate for studying gastric barrier function, mucoadhesion, and host-pathogen interactions.
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food: Incorporated into products aimed at supporting gastrointestinal health and mucosal integrity.
• In Vitro Diagnostic Tools: Utilized in the development of assays and models to simulate gastric conditions for drug permeability testing.
• Cosmeceuticals: Employed in topical formulations for its moisturizing and protective film-forming properties on the skin.
• Tissue Engineering: Acts as a bioactive component in scaffolds designed to promote wound healing and mucosal regeneration.
