UniProt functional annotation for P01133

UniProt code: P01133.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: EGF stimulates the growth of various epidermal and epithelial tissues in vivo and in vitro and of some fibroblasts in cell culture. Magnesiotropic hormone that stimulates magnesium reabsorption in the renal distal convoluted tubule via engagement of EGFR and activation of the magnesium channel TRPM6. Can induce neurite outgrowth in motoneurons of the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis in vitro (PubMed:10964941). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10964941, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17671655}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with EGFR and promotes EGFR dimerization. Interacts with RHBDF2 (By similarity). Interacts with RHBDF1; may retain EGF in the endoplasmic reticulum and regulates its degradation through the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12297050, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12620237, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20837704, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21029725, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21439629}.
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in kidney, salivary gland, cerebrum and prostate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17671655}.
Ptm: O-glycosylated with core 1-like and core 2-like glycans. It is uncertain if Ser-954 or Thr-955 is O-glycosylated. The modification here shows glycan heterogeneity: HexHexNAc (major) and Hex2HexNAc2 (minor). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22171320}.
Disease: Hypomagnesemia 4 (HOMG4) [MIM:611718]: A disorder characterized by massive renal hypomagnesemia and normal levels of serum calcium and calcium excretion. Clinical features include seizures, mild-to moderate psychomotor retardation, and brisk tendon reflexes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17671655}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAR84237.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
