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.

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).
