simple, secretory epithelia including the mammary gland, gastrointestinal, respiratory …

MUC1 is a large, transmembrane mucin glycoprotein expressed at the apical surface of a
variety of reproductive tract epithelia. Functions attributed to MUC1 include those generally …

Expression of MUC1 in endometrial epithelium has been suggested to create a barrier to
embryo attachment that must be lifted at the time of implantation. In this study, we …
