MeSH definition : A transmembrane mucin that is found in a broad variety of epithelial tissue. Mucin-4
may play a role in regulating cellular adhesion and in cell surface signaling from
the ERBB-2 RECEPTOR PROTEIN-TYROSINE KINASE. Mucin-4 is a heterodimer of alpha and
beta chains. The alpha and beta chains result from the proteolytic cleavage of a precursor
protein.;
