Some tissue specific mucin expression are already known. For example the human MUC2 are expressed in intestine where it is the main secreted mucin. It is also found in the airways 6. MUC19 have been seen to be expressed in murine salivary gland and in salivary at higher levels than other secreted mucins but are still poorly studied 7. The human MUC5ac have been found in stomach, uterine, and at the respiratory system at high levels. But most extensively in stomach.8 MUC5b in human are expressed in

evolved during the Jurassic period more than 150 million years ago which has led to the high diversity of this group. One hypotheses proposed about the high diversity of teleost fish is that there has been extensive gene duplications in the class Actinopterygii. Gene duplication is proven to show that with the more gene duplication events the more diversity that organism will have. This is a trend that has been studied in tetrapods and primitive species specifically in hagfish and lampreys (Holland et

Once upon a time, many clownfish were first found living near the ocean floor. Let’s take a deep look down under to see exactly where they are.

These colors remind us of circus clown 's costume. But that is not all. Did

The internal and external anatomy of Labeo umbratus Hannah Janse van Vuuren Abstract The anatomy of an Labeo umbratus specimen, found in the Krugersdrif dam, was studied. Annotations of the positions of the internal organs as well as the external morphological characteristics were made. Upon further analysis, several characteristics were identified that would have eased life in aquatic environments. Some of these characteristics include sensory receptors located on the head as well
