Mucus in the stomach protects the gastrointestinal cells from the damage that gastric juice can cause. Mucus in the stomach is rich in bicarbonate which is an alkaline compound helps in lubricating and protecting the stomach. Gastric juices are highly acidic and, without this mucus, the acid can destroy the cells and tissues in the stomach.
The stomach lining is covered by a protective layer of mucus. Glands in the stomach produce mucus, hydrochloric acid and an inactive enzyme called pepsinogen. In the stomach cavity, the hydrochloric acid changes the pepsinogen into an active digestive enzyme called pepsin. This enzyme digests proteins. The mucus layer acts as a barrier which prevents the stomach lining from being attacked by pepsin and acid. If the mucus layer in the stomach is thinned or removed, which may happen during an infection by a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori, pepsin and acid may be able to attack the stomach lining. The infection can cause inflammation (gastritis) and sores called ulcers.
