MEGF8 - multiple EGF like domains 8 Gene
Also Known as SBP1; CRPT2; EGFL4; C19orf49
Species: Homo sapiens
About MEGF8
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 179 orthologues, 27 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 10.9), fat (RPKM 6.9) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a single-pass type I membrane protein of unknown function that contains several EGF-like domains, Kelch repeats, and PSI domains. Defects in this gene are a cause of Carpenter syndrome 2. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]
