Its potential is associated with its secretome since it has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulator activities.

Endometrial receptivity defects MUC-1 and COX-2 polymorphisms in endometriosis.

The endometrium produces MUCIN-1 (MUC-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which are essential for implantation. MUC-1 is required for adhesion, while COX-2 is necessary for decidualization. Variations or polymorphisms in MUC-1 and COX-2 can lead to changes in endometrial receptivity.
