Mucins are a group of high molecular weight glycoproteins consisting of a mucin core protein and O-linked carbohydrates.
Mucin 4, a membrane-bound mucin, is the human homolog of the rat sialomucin complex (SMC).
Mucin 4 protein consists of Mucin 4å, a large amino mucin type subunit, and Mucin 4beta, a transmembrane subunit containing three EGF-like domains.
The Mucin 4 gene is the predominant mucin gene expressed in the normal urothelium and is also expressed in several normal tissues such as trachea, lung and testis.
Dysregulation of Mucin 4 results in high levels of expression in pancreatic tumors and tumor cell lines.
Induction of Mucin 4 in pancreatic carcinoma by all-trans-retinoic acid is mediated through the retinoic acid receptor-å signaling pathway.
TGFbeta2 serves as an interim mediator of this regulated expression.
Alternative splicing in the 3'-end of the Mucin 4 gene generates at least 12 splice variants, which are characterized as two distinct types, a secreted type and a membrane-associated type.
Mucin 4 protein acts as a heterodimeric bifunctional cell-surface glycoprotein and forms thick mucous effusion in the diseased middle ear.
