NCIt definition : Mucin-4 (2169 aa, 232 kDa) is encoded by the human MUC4 gene. This protein is involved
in receptor signaling, the modulation of cell-matrix adhesion, and in tumor progression.;
NCIt note : Mucin-4 is proteolytically cleaved into 2 chains: mucin-4 alpha chain (ascites sialoglycoprotein
1; ASGP-1) and mucin-4 beta chain (ascites sialoglycoprotein 2; ASGP-2). (UniProt);
