motifs/domains
  • three calcium binding type EGF-like motifs
  • 30 EGF-like domains containing two additional cysteine residues
    • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY MEGF (multiple EGF-like domains) protein family
    CATEGORY secretory , protooncogene

    basic FUNCTION
  • may serve as an oncogene to promote cell proliferation and inhibit apoptosis
  • can also accelerate cell migration via TGFB1/SMAD signaling-mediated EMT
  • is dispensable for embryonic development
  • MEGF6-expressing cells contribute to the periotic mesenchyme and its derivatives, skin epidermis, certain cells in brain and ribs
