    Abstract

    Human mucous secretions contain a proteinase inhibitor which is produced locally and inhibits, besides trypsin and chymotrypsin, granulocytic elastase and cathepsin G as well as mast cell chymase and tryptase. The various inhibitors isolated from different sources (bronchial mucus, parotid secretion, seminal plasma, cervical mucus, etc.) and named accordingly (bronchial mucus inhibitor, BMI; human seminal inhibitor I, HUSI-I; cervical mucus inhibitors, CUSI; antileukoprotease, ALP; secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor, SLPI) proved to be identical or derived from a mature inhibitory protein encoded by a single gene of the human genom. Therefore, this inhibitor should be named mucus proteinase inhibitor, MPI. Such a neutral terminus would help to avoid misleading interpretations of already published data and also of the biological role of this inhibitory protein because the MPI may serve several and different physiological functions.

      • Related Citations
        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • Compound
        PubChem chemical compound records that cite the current articles. These references are taken from those provided on submitted PubChem chemical substance records. Multiple substance records may contribute to the PubChem compound record.
      • Gene
        Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.
      • HomoloGene
        HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.
      • Nucleotide (RefSeq)
        NCBI nucleotide Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.
      • Nucleotide (Weighted)
        Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.
      • OMIM (calculated)
        Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as references in the light bulb links within or in the citations at the end of the OMIM record. The references available through the light bulb link are collected using the PubMed related articles algorithm to identify records with similar terminology to the OMIM record.
