Figure 3From: An inventory of mucin genes in the chicken genome shows that the mucin domain of Muc13 is encoded by multiple exons and that ovomucin is part of a locus of related gel-forming mucinsOrganization of the gene cluster for gel-forming mucins in chicken as compared to man. The orientation of the genes is indicated by arrows. The major difference between the two organisms is the presence of the ovomucin gene in chicken.Back to article page
