function:Medin is the main constituent of aortic medial amyloid.,function:Specific ligand for the alpha-v/beta-3 and alpha-v/beta-5 receptors. Also binds to phosphatidylserine-enriched cell surfaces in a receptor-independent manner. Zona pellucida-binding protein which may play a role in gamete interaction. Binds specifically to rotavirus and inhibits its replication.,PTM:Medin has a ragged N-terminus with minor species starting at Pro-264 and Gly-273.,similarity:Contains 1 EGF-like domain.,similarity:Contains 1 F5/8 type C domain.,similarity:Contains 2 F5/8 type C domains.,similarity:Contains 3 F5/8 type C domains.,tissue specificity:Mammary epithelial cell surfaces and aortic media. Overexpressed in several carcinomas.,
