Discovery of a <i>MUC3B</i> gene reconstructs the membrane mucin gene cluster on human chromosome 7
2022-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Human tissue surfaces are coated with mucins, a family of macromolecular sugar-laden proteins serving diverse functions from lubrication to formation of selective biochemical barriers against harmful microorganisms and molecules. Membrane mucins are a distinct group of mucins that are attached to epithelial cell surfaces where they create a dense glycocalyx facing the extracellular environment. All mucin proteins...
