Abstract
A 3' RACE technique was used to establish the nucleotide sequence enco ding the C-terminal 379 amino acids of rat intestinal Muc3. Unlike the C-terminus of Muc2 and many secretory mucins, Muc3 contains two EGF m otifs and a putative transmembrane domain. The mRNA for rat Muc3 is 7. 5-8.0 kb.
