motifs/domains
  • membrane anchored protein with a laminin type EGF-like
  • five EGF-like motifs
  • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene

    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • essential regulator of left-right patterning (
  • possible involvement in astrocytic engulfment
  • function for MEGF8 in intracellular trafficking could account for both the presence of the predicted transmembrane domain and the phenotypic similarity in the consequences of MEGF8 and RAB23 mutations
