MUC1: A multifunctional cell surface component of reproductive tissue epithelia
<p>Abstract</p> <p>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 associated with mucins such as lubrication and hydration of cell surfaces as well...
