Gene information for EGFL6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID25975
Official gene symbolEGFL6
Full nameEGF-like-domain, multiple 6
Aliases,DKFZp564P2063,MAEG,W80,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) repeat superfamily. Members of this superfamily are characterized by the presence of EGF-like repeats and are often involved in the regulation of cell cycle, proliferation, and developmental processes. The gene product contains a signal peptide, suggesting that it is secreted; an EGF repeat region consisting of 4 complete EGF-like repeats and 1 partial EGF-like repeat, 3 of which have a calcium-binding consensus sequence; an arg-gly-asp integrin association motif; and a MAM domain, which is believed to have an adhesive function. This gene is expressed early during development, and its expression has been detected in lung and meningioma tumors. [provided by RefSeq]
