01
Overview
Airway mucus secretions refer to the complex mixture of water, high-molecular-weight glycoproteins (mucins), proteins, lipids, cells, and cellular debris that line the respiratory tract. This mucus layer plays a critical role in trapping inhaled particles (such as dust and pathogens) and facilitating their removal from the lungs via mucociliary clearance and cough. Key components include water, mucins (MUC5AC and MUC5B), proteins (enzymes, immunoglobulins, defensins), lipids, and cells/debris. Excessive production or impaired clearance contributes directly to symptoms and disease progression in chronic respiratory diseases.
