| Illustration of the structure of the AMUC_1438 protein from the gut bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila. A. muciniphila is a normal part of the flora found in the human intestine. It is able to use mucin, the main component of mucous, as a nutrient source. AMUC_1438 is an O-glycopeptidase enzyme that recognises the glycan component of mucin, and cleaves its peptide bonds. | |
