EGF-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EFEMP1 gene.[1][2][3]

This gene spans approximately 18 kb of genomic DNA and consists of 12 exons. Alternative splice patterns in the 5' UTR result in three transcript variants encoding the same extracellular matrix protein. Mutations in this gene are associated with Doyne honeycomb retinal dystrophy.[3]

Interactions

EFEMP1 has been shown to interact with ARAF.[4]
