Lactadherin (Q08431)

Uniprot ID Q08431
Protein Name Lactadherin
Gene Name MFGE8
Species Homo sapiens (Human)
Signal peptide(a) Y Secretome P(b) 0.712
Function Plays an important role in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis and the promotion of mucosal healing. Promotes VEGF-dependent neovascularization (By similarity). Contributes to phagocytic removal of apoptotic cells in many tissues. Specific ligand for the alpha-v/beta-3 and alpha-v/beta-5 receptors. Also binds to phosphatidylserine-enriched cell surfaces in a receptor-independent manner. Zona pellucida-binding protein which may play a role in gamete interaction. .Medin is the main constituent of aortic medial amyloid. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19204935}.

(a) The Signal peptide D-score cutoff for "YES"(having signal peptide) is 0.45.
(b) Non-classically secreted proteins should obtain an NN-score(Neural Networks score) exceeding the normal threshold of 0.5, but not at the same time be predicted to contain a signal peptide.
