Additional Info
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in trachea, duodenum and intestine. Lower expression in stomach, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and kidney. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Proteolytically cleaved into 2 chains, mucin-4 alpha chain and mucin-4 beta chain. Mucin-4 alpha chain: Highly O-glycosylated. Mucin-4 beta chain: Predominantly N-glycosylated. |
| Function | Membrane-bound mucin, a family of highly glycosylated proteins that constitute the major component of the mucus, the slimy and viscous secretion covering epithelial surfaces. These glycoproteins play important roles in the protection of the epithelium and are implicated in epithelial renewal and differentiation. Regulates cellular behavior through both anti-adhesive effects on cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions and its ability to act as an intramembrane ligand for ERBB2. Plays an important role in proliferation and differentiation of epithelial cells by inducing specific phosphorylation of ERBB2. In polarized epithelial cells, segregates ERBB2 and other ERBB receptors and prevents ERBB2 from acting as a coreceptor. The interaction with ERBB2 leads to enhanced expression of CDKN1B. The formation of a MUC4-ERBB2-ERBB3-NRG1 complex leads to down-regulation of CDKN1B, resulting in repression of apoptosis and stimulation of proliferation. Its ability to promote tumor growth may be mainly due to repression of apoptosis as opposed to proliferation. |
