TLDR
The present results for Helix pomatia show a clear difference in the number of glands compared to the related species Helix aspersa (only four mucus glands); histochemically, the glands of both species similarly produce acidic proteins as well as acidic glycosaminoglycans.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
HelixComplex snail mucus exhibits pro-survival, proliferative and pro-migration effects on mammalian fibroblasts.
Claudio Trapella,Roberta Rizzo,Stefania Gallo,Andrea Alogna,Daria Bortolotti,Fabio Casciano,Giorgio Zauli,Paola Secchiero,Rebecca Voltan +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that snail mucus biological effects are attributable to cell proliferation and migration, and pave the way for further investigating snail mucUS potential as therapeutic agent.

Antimicrobial properties of terrestrial snail and slug mucus.
Giovanni Cilia,Filippo Fratini +1 more
TL;DR: The results of antimicrobial studies of snail and slug mucus and its compounds are summarized from the first scientific applications to the isolation of the single components in order to better understand its application and propose an employment in future studies as a natural antimicrobial agent.

Polyphenolic Substance of Mytilus edulis: Novel Adhesive Containing L-Dopa and Hydroxyproline.
TL;DR: An acid-soluble protein was extracted and purified from the phenol gland located in the byssus-secreting foot of the fouling marine mussel, and its composition and its sticky tendencies in vitro strongly suggest that it contributes to byssal adhesion.
