Abstract excerpt

A family of four genes that encode major secreted mucins (MUC6, MUC2, MUC5AC and MUC5B) map to within 400 kb on chromosome 11p15.5. These genes contain long stretches of tandem repeats of sequence that encode serine- and threonine-rich domains but that otherwise show no similarity from gene to gene, and regions of unique sequence domains that do show evidence of sequence homology. We have previously reported the...
