Role of hyaluronan and CD44 in reactive oxygen species-induced mucus hypersecretion.

abstract：:The epithelial cells of the human intestine exhibit a cholinesterase activity which is restricted to the apex of the villi. This activity displays a maximum in the colon and a minimum in the jejunum. Contrary to most of the studied vertebrates, the human cells present both acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesteras...
