Genome wide analysis of the bovine mucin genes and their gastrointestinal transcription profile
7 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mucins are large glycoproteins implicated in protection of all mucosal surfaces. In humans and rodents, the mucin gene family has been well described and previous studies have investigated the distribution and function of mucins in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In contrast, little data is available on the mucin gene family in polygastric species, such as cattle. The aim of the current study was to...
