Abstract
A mucin-type glycoprotein extracted from various species of jellyfish (JF) is named qniumucin (Q-mucin). Compared with general mucins, most of which are from mammals including humans, Q-mucin can be collected on a relatively large scale with high yield. Owing to its simple structure with low heterogeneity, Q-mucin has a potential to be developed into material mucins which opens various applications valuable to humans. On the basis of our present knowledge, here, we describe our protocol for the extraction of Q-mucin, which can be extracted from any JF species worldwide. Experimental protocols to identify the structure of Q-mucin are also introduced.
