MFGE8 His Tag Protein, Human

Milk Fat Globulin Protein E8 （MFGE8）, also known as Lactadherin, MP47, breast epithelial antigen BA46, and SED1, which promotes mammary gland morphogenesis, angiogenesis, and tumor progression. MFGE8 also plays an important role in tissue homeostasis and the prevention of inflammation. It plays an important role in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis and the promotion of mucosal healing. Promotes VEGF-dependent neovascularization. MFGE8 binds to the Integrins alpha V beta 3 and alpha V beta 5 and potentiates the angiogenic action of VEGF through VEGF R2. It reduces inflammation and tissue damage in a variety of settings. MFG-E8 functions as a bridge between phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells and Integrin alpha V beta 3 on phagocytes, leading to the clearance of apoptotic debris.
