This entry represents the EGF-like domains found in laminin subunits (alpha, beta, gamma), attractin (ATRN), netrin, among others. ATRN is involved in the initial immune cell clustering during inflammatory response and may regulate chemotactic activity of chemokines. It may play a role in melanocortin signaling pathways that regulate energy homeostasis and hair color [1]. It was thought to have dipeptidase activity but it was shown later to lack that activity [2]. Laminins are crucial for the formation of stable basement membranes and organising receptor complexes and cytoskeletal components. Netrins control guidance of central nervous system commissural axons and peripheral motor axons, serving as survival factors and regulating apoptosis.

This entry represents the C-terminal VWD like domain found at the C-terminus of proteins in the Repulsive Guidance Molecule (RGM) family, which is involved in various functions related to nervous system development and signaling. Members of this family act as bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) coreceptors, enhancing BMP signaling pathways. They play crucial roles in regulating neural tube closure, inhibiting neurite outgrowth, and promoting neuronal adhesion. Additionally, they are involved in the regulation of iron homeostasis through the modulation of hepcidin expression. The RGM family also influences axon guidance and synapse formation, contributing to the patterning of the developing nervous system.
