    Glossary Dermal Mucin

    gel-like substance in skin's dermis aiding hydration and elasticity

    Dermal mucin refers to a gel-like substance composed of glycosaminoglycans, primarily hyaluronic acid, found within the dermis layer of the skin. It plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration, elasticity, and structural integrity. In certain skin conditions, such as lupus or dermatomyositis, an abnormal accumulation of dermal mucin can occur, leading to skin swelling and other symptoms.
