Mouse Anti-MFGE8 (Lactadherin, Breast Epithelial Antigen BA46, HMFG, MFGM, Milk Fat Globule-EGF Factor 8, MFG-E8, SED1, Lactadherin Short Form, Medin)
Plays an important role in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis and the promotion of mucosal healing. Promotes VEGF-dependent neovascularization. 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. Binds specifically to rotavirus and inhibits its replication.
