| SMART ACC: | SM000026 |
| Description: | Ependymins are the predominant proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of teleost fish. They have been implicated in the neurochemistry of memory and neuronal regeneration. They are glycoproteins of about 200 amino acids that can bind calcium. Four cysteines are conserved that probably form disulfide bonds. |

| InterPro abstract: | Ependymins are secretory proteins found predominantly in the cerebrospinal fluid of teleost fish [ PUBMED:1831964 PUBMED:8350351 ]. A bound form of the glycoproteins is associated with the extracellular matrix, probably with collagen fibrils … expand |

KEGG pathways involving proteins which contain this domain
This information is based on the mapping of SMART genomic protein database to KEGG orthologous groups. Percentages are related to the number of proteins containing a EPEND domain which could be assigned to a KEGG orthologous group, and not all proteins containing EPEND domains. Please note that proteins can be included in multiple pathways, ie. the numbers below will not add to 100%.
