In these roles, MUC-4 serves to protect and lubricate the epithelium, which facilitates transport and traps foreign particles. One example of its function in the reproductive lining relates to blastocyst implantation resulting from MUC4 downregulation. It is found to be overexpressed during the luteal phase of 922:, the viscous secretion that covers epithelial surfaces such as those in the trachea, colon, and cervix, are highly glycosylated proteins called mucins. These glycoproteins play important roles in the protection of the epithelial cells and have been implicated in epithelial renewal and differentiation. This gene encodes an integral membrane 1086:
MUC4 is often overexpressed in pancreatic adenocarcinomas and has been shown to promote tumor growth and metastasis, though the mechanism by which it does so is not known. MUC4 detection is emerging as a method to diagnose pancreatic cancer, especially since MUC4 is not detectably expressed in normal

are thought to contribute to this over-expression of MUC4. By inhibiting MUC-4, scientists have been able to reduce cancer cell proliferation, migration, and tumor size as well as reduce protein S100A4 expression, presenting MUC-4 as a good therapeutic target for the treatment of esophageal cancer.

The large alpha subunit that is glycosylated likely confers the anti-adhesive properties to the cell, allowing for cell–cell and cell–matrix detachment in normal as well as cancerous cells. The heavy glycosylation may also serve as a reservoir for growth factors, which may become released upon

The two subunits of MUC4 are transcribed from a single gene made of 25 exons and with its exon/intron structure identical to that of the mouse gene. Over 24 splice variants have been found for MUC4 using commercial mRNAs or total RNAs extracted from cancer cell lines. Some predicted forms are
