Oral mucosal epithelial cells express the membrane anchored mucin MUC1

Highlights • “Oral mucosal epithelial cells express the membrane anchored mucin MUC1” by Ukkonen et al. • The data shows that oral mucosal cells express the membrane anchored mucin MUC1. • The membrane anchored mucin MUC1 is localized mainly to small vesicles and plasma membranes of oral epithelial...

Description
Summary:Highlights • “Oral mucosal epithelial cells express the membrane anchored mucin MUC1” by Ukkonen et al. • The data shows that oral mucosal cells express the membrane anchored mucin MUC1. • The membrane anchored mucin MUC1 is localized mainly to small vesicles and plasma membranes of oral epithelial cells. • The MUC1 staining intensity is strongest in the apical part of the oral epithelium.
