Discovery of a MUC3B gene reconstructs the membrane mucin gene cluster on human chromosome 7
Human tissue surfaces are coated with mucins, a family of macromolecular sugar-laden proteins serving diverse functions from lubrication to the formation of selective biochemical barriers against harmful microorganisms and molecules. Membrane mucins are a distinct group of mucins that are attached t...
