Egfl7 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables Notch binding activity. Involved in vasculogenesis. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of smooth muscle cell migration. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and retina. Orthologous to human EGFL7 (EGF like domain multiple 7).

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 mouse Egfl7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
