Homo sapiens

Also known as EPG; PRO9904; ALGV3072

Gene ID: 255324 | Gene type: protein coding

About EPGN

Cytogenetic location: 4q13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:74,308,470-74,316,789 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 110 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Restricted expression toward esophagus (RPKM 11.2).

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the epidermal growth factor family. Members of this family are ligands for the epidermal growth factor receptor and play a role in cell survival, proliferation and migration. This protein has been reported to have high mitogenic activity but low affinity for its receptor. Expression of this transcript and protein have been reported in Cancer specimens of the breast, bladder, and prostate. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
