1 The old concept that the lacrimal gland is only a serous gland has been superseded by the finding that lacrimal acinar cells are able to produce mucins--high-molecular-weight proteins--the major mass being carbohydrates with the common feature of tandem repeats of amino acids rich in serine, threonine, and proline in the central domain of the mucin core peptide.
