HBEGF Gene Summary [Human]
Enables growth factor activity and heparin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of protein kinase B signaling; and positive regulation of wound healing. Located in cell surface and extracellular space. Implicated in glomerulosclerosis and perinatal necrotizing enterocolitis. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human HBEGF often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
