The protein is known also as salivary low molecular mass mucin and has been referred to as MG2 (Reddy et al, 1993). Reddy et al (1993) have shown that Mucin 7 has the capacity to bind pili of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Mucin 7 is thought to have protective effects in the oral cavity and to promote the clearance of bacteria (Kirkbride et al, 2001; Rousseau et al, 2006).
Karlsson and Thomsson (2009) have reported that Mucin 7 provides a multivalent scaffold for sialylation and is a major carrier of blood group I type O-linked oligosaccharides serving as the scaffold for
