Abstract
The Brunner’s Gland is a small comma-shaped gland, located at the gastrointestinal junction, that is responsible for neutralizing stomach acid and lubricating the intestinal walls. Previous research shows differences regarding the Brunner’s Gland and the intestinal epithelium on the protein level. Yet, until this point, no research has been done to identify specific gene expression within the Brunner’s Gland.
