Abstract
The function of endometrial epithelial cells is to secrete various substances that are rich in growth factors and nutrients. These substances support both embryo implantation and its subsequent development into a fetus. A vast number of mucins are expressed in endometrial epithelial cells, and they play an important role in regulating the processes of embryo implantation, pregnancy, and parturition. Previous studies have shown that mucin forms a mucus layer covering endometrial epithelial cells, which helps resist damage from foreign bacteria and their toxins. Therefore, this article aims to investigate the location of mucins in the endometrium, the mechanism of mucin secretion by the endometrium, and the regulation of mucins in the uterine epithelium by reproductive hormones, as well as the role of mucins in the protection of the epithelium’s structure. This research aims to provide a foundational understanding for future studies on the role and mechanism of endometrial mucins throughout the pregnancy cycle.
