Summary: Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and integrin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within extracellular matrix organization and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Located in basement membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; limb; lung; reproductive system; and urinary system. Orthologous to human EGFL6 (EGF like domain multiple 6).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
