Milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (Mfge8) controls inflammation and immunity by mediating apoptotic cell clearance. It plays an important role in autoimmunity, neoangiogenesis and sperm-egg binding. Mfge8 also plays a major role in membrane vesicle secretion like budding or shedding of plasma membrane (microvesicles) and exocytosis of endocytic multivesicular bodies (exosomes).

General description
Milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (Mfge8) is a peripheral membrane soluble glycoprotein. It is liberated by several cells like macrophages. This protein is also termed as a phagocytosis “eat me” signal. It is predominantly expressed in lactating mammary glands.MFG-E8 has two-repeated EGF-like domains, a mucin-like domain, two-repeated discoidin-like domains (C-domains) and an integrin-binding motif (RGD sequence) in the EGF-like domain. This gene is located on human chromosome 15q26.
