Efemp1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable epidermal growth factor receptor activity and epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cell population proliferation; regulation of cell projection organization; and regulation of glial cell migration. Located in basement membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Doyne honeycomb retinal dystrophy and cutis laxa. Orthologous to human EFEMP1 (EGF containing fibulin extracellular matrix protein 1).

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 rat Efemp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
