Descriptor English: Mucin-4
Descriptor Spanish: Mucina 4
Descriptor mucina 4
Scope note: Mucina transmembranaria que se encuentra en distintos tejidos epiteliales. Puede desempeñar un papel en la regulación de la adhesión celular y en la señalización de la superficie celular mediante el RECEPTOR ERBB-2. La mucina 4 es un heterodímero de cadenas alfa y beta que proceden de la proteólisis de una proteína precursora.

Scope note: 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.
