    Summary
    Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in vasculogenesis. Predicted to be active in cell surface and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including diaphragm; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and trigeminal nerve. Orthologous to human EGFL8 (EGF like domain multiple 8).

    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.
