FN1/EGF Fusion Protein

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein

**Definition:** A fusion protein encoded by the FN1/EGF fusion gene. This protein is comprised of the signal peptide and the N-terminal repeats required for cell surface binding, ECM incorporation, fibril formation, and binding of collagen, fibrin, and fibronectin of the fibronectin protein fused to the C-terminal sequences from the epidermal growth factor (EGF) protein, including the transmembrane domain and the mature active EGF sequence flanked by cleavage sites.

**Synonyms:** - FN1-EGF Fusion Protein - FN1::EGF Fusion Protein - Fibronectin-Epidermal Growth Factor Fusion Protein - Fibronectin/Epidermal Growth Factor Fusion Protein
