Protein names Mucin-4 (MUC-4) (Ascites sialoglycoprotein) (ASGP) (Pancreatic adenocarcinoma mucin) (Testis mucin) (Tracheobronchial mucin) [Cleaved into: Mucin-4 alpha chain (Ascites sialoglycoprotein 1) (ASGP-1); Mucin-4 beta chain (Ascites sialoglycoprotein 2) (ASGP-2)]
Mass 542307Da
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 (PubMed:10880978). These glycoproteins play important roles in the protection of the epithelium and are implicated in epithelial renewal and differentiation (PubMed:10880978). 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. .
Subellular location [Mucin-4 beta chain]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein . Note=Isoforms lacking the Cys-rich region, EGF-like domains and transmembrane region are secreted. Secretion occurs by splicing or proteolytic processing. .; [Mucin-4 alpha chain]: Cell membrane . Secreted . Note=Forms a complex with Mucin-4 beta chain at the cell membrane. .; [Isoform 3]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein .; [Isoform 11]: Secreted .; [Isoform 15]: Secreted .; [Isoform 17]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein .
Tissues Expressed in the thymus, thyroid, lung, trachea, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, testis, prostate, ovary, uterus, placenta, and mammary and salivary glands. Expressed in carcinomas arising from some of these epithelia, such as lung cancers, squamous cell carcinomas of the upper aerodigestive tract, mammary carcinomas, biliary tract, colon, and cervix cancers. Minimally or not expressed in the normal pancreas or chronic pancreatitis, but is highly expressed in pancreatic tumors and pancreatic tumor cell lines. .
Structure A heterodimeric complex, composed of a mucin-4 alpha chain and a cysteine-rich transmembrane mucin-4 beta chain. Mucin-4 beta chain interacts with ERBB2 via the EGF-like domain 1. In nonpolarized cells, associates with ERBB2 and ERBB3. .
Post-translational modification PTM: Proteolytically cleaved into 2 chains, mucin-4 alpha chain and mucin-4 beta chain. .; PTM: [Mucin-4 alpha chain]: Highly O-glycosylated. .; PTM: [Mucin-4 beta chain]: Is predominantly N-glycosylated. .
