MUC4 and MUC5B Transcripts Are the Prevalent Mucin Messenger Ribonucleic Acids of the Human Endocervix1

1 Jan 1999

Abstract excerpt

Mucins secreted by the endocervical epithelium protect the surfaces of the reproductive tract epithelium from pathogen penetrance and modulate sperm entry into the uterus. Three large gel-forming mucins, MUCs 5AC, 5B, and 6, are expressed by the endocervical epithelium, as is MUC4, a relatively uncharacterized mucin for which only tandem repeat sequence has been reported. We sought to determine the relative...
