摘要
乳脂球表皮生长因子8(milk fat globuleEGF factorⅧ,MFG—E8)是一种乳汁脂肪小球表面的亲脂性糖蛋白,广泛参与多种细胞问的相互作用,如介导精子与卵子外膜问的结合、维持附睾上皮细胞与精子细胞膜的黏附、参与肠上皮细胞的维持与修复、促进乳腺支化形成和成人组织新生血管形成、增强树突状细胞外泌体功能以及参与吞噬清除凋亡细胞的过程。此外,MFG—E8也显示良好的应用前景,有可能作为潜在的治疗和检测手段。
The multi-domain protein milk fat globule EGF factor VIII (MFG-E8) is known to participate in a variety of cellular interactions, including adhesion between sperm and egg coat, repair of intestinal mucosa, mammary gland branching morphogenesis, angiogenesis, phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and so on. This unusual protein may offer much potential for research and therapeutics.
