Megf10 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable Notch binding activity; complement component C1q complex binding activity; and scavenger receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including myoblast development; positive regulation of myoblast proliferation; and skeletal muscle satellite cell proliferation. Predicted to act upstream of or within apoptotic process involved in development; engulfment of apoptotic cell; and recognition of apoptotic cell. Predicted to be located in phagocytic cup. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myopathy 10B and early-onset myopathy-areflexia-respiratory distress-dysphagia syndrome. Orthologous to human MEGF10 (multiple EGF like domains 10). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Megf10 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
