| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | NA |
| Tissue Specificity | Submaxillary mucosae. |
| Post Translational Modification | Extensively O-glycosylated on most but not all Ser and Thr residues of the repeat units. Highest glycosylation appears to occur on Ser residues which have Gly at positions at +2 or -2 from the glycosy |
| Function | Apomucin is part of mucin; the major glycoprotein synthesized and secreted by mucous cells of the submaxillary gland. Its highly viscous aqueous solutions serve to lubricate the oral cavity and to protect it from the external environment. |
