Mucin-4
Active
Description
Mucin-4 (MUC-4) is a mucin protein encoded by the MUC4 gene and belonging to the Mucin family, a group of high molecular weight, heavily glycosylated proteins (glycoconjugates). Mucins are major constituents of mucus that covers epithelial surfaces such as those in the trachea, colon, and cervix. They play important roles in the protection, renewal and differentiation of the epithelial cells. MUC-4 has been found to play various roles in the progression of cancer, particularly due to its signaling and anti-adhesive properties which contribute to tumor development and metastasis. It is also found to play roles in other diseases such as endometriosis and inflammatory bowel. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
