MUC13, a Novel Human Cell Surface Mucin Expressed by Epithelial and Hemopoietic Cells
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
Transmembrane mucins are glycoproteins involved in barrier function in epithelial tissues. To identify novel transmembrane mucin genes, we performed a tblastn search of the GenBanktrade mark EST data bases with a serine/threonine-rich search string, and a rodent gene expressed in bone marrow was identified. We determined the cDNA sequence of the human orthologue of this gene, MUC13, which localizes to chromosome...
