Definitions

Due inconsistencies in naming this and other mammary gland epithelial cell types, several mammary gland experts gathered for a breast atlas annotation jamboree organized by Chan-Zuckerberg initiative. They agreed to label this cell type as basal-myoepithelial cell (and abbreviated: B-Myo cell). A myoepithelial cell that is part of a mammary gland and is located in the basal layer. During lactation, a basal-myoepithelial cell of mammary gland contracts under the stimulation of oxytocin. In humans, a basal-myoepithelial cell of mammary gland can be identified by high levels of CD49f and low levels of EpCAM.
