MEGF11 Antibody (D-14): sc-164980

---

MEGF11 (multiple epidermal growth factor-like domains protein 11) is a 1,044 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that belongs to the MEGF family. MEGF11 exists as a homopolymer that primarily localizes to protruding lamellipodia in an irregular, mosaic-like adhesion pattern. Expressed at high levels in adult and fetal brain and adult spinal cord, MEGF11 is found at lower levels in kidney, ovary and heart. MEGF11 contains fourteen EGF-like domains, one EMI domain, and undergoes alternative splicing events to produce four isoforms. The gene encoding MEGF11 maps to human chromosome 15, which houses over 700 genes and comprises nearly 3% of the human genome. Angelman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Tay-Sachs disease and Marfan syndrome are all associated with defects in chromosome 15-localized genes.
