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)]
Function
alternative products:Additional isoforms exist,developmental stage:Expressed early in the primitive gut before respiratory and digestive epithelial cells have acquired their tissue and cell specificity. Expressed at the basal surface of the epithelium from week 14 to 26 weeks and then predominantly localized in only parietal cells. Immediately before birth, found in the cytoplasm of the mucous columnar epithelial cells. In the embryo expressed in skin, then disappears late in gestation.,function:May play a role in tumor progression. Ability to promote tumor growth may be mainly due to repression of apoptosis as opposed to proliferation. Has anti-adhesive properties. Seems to alter cellular behavior through both anti-adhesive effects on cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions and in its ability to act as an intramembrane ligand for ERBB2. Plays an important role in cell proli
