MUC4

MUCIN4 (MUC4) is a mucin glycoprotein implicated in various cancers due to its overexpression, particularly in pancreatic, ovarian, and breast cancers. As a biomarker, elevated MUC4 levels correlate with advanced disease and poorer prognosis. Emerging research is investigating MUC4 as a target for cancer vaccines and therapeutic strategies, aiming to harness its role in tumor progression for more effective diagnostic and treatment options.
