How can you use “egf-like” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

It is well established that EGF-like modules are important structural features found in many extracellular proteins and that these modules enable numerous protein :protein interactions; the binding of EGF-like modules in laminin to nidogen [ 19 ] and the interaction of EGF-like modules within fibrillin monomers [ 20 21 ] . Calcium may be required for some of these protein interactions.
The amino acid sequence of the heparin-binding region of HB-EGF ( 21KRKKKGKGLGKKRDPCLRKYK 41) [ 2 ] has been shown to have a strong affinity for heparin and may influence the interaction of this growth factor with cell-surface negatively charged heparan sulfate proteoglycans [ 22 ] . It remains to be seen whether specific/all of the EGF-like modules are required and whether calcium is needed for the interaction of HB-EGF with LTBP-3.
The co-expression that we observed in our analysis for the EGF-like domains and immunoglobin superfamily suggested that they may cooperate with each other in the cell adhesion process.
In constrast, the construct, pGAD424/Fib-1C EGF#1-5, that contained calcium-binding type II EGF-like modules #1-5 fused to the GAL4 activation domain (see Fig.
Deletion of the EGF-like domains encoded by exons 60-62 in the C-terminal domain of fibrillin-1 results in a much less severe phenotype than deletion of three EGF-like domains in the second longest stretch of EGF-like domains (between exons 43-49).
