UniProtKB accession:  Q62356

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Secreted glycoprotein that is involved in various physiological processes, such as angiogenesis, regulation of the immune response, cell proliferation and differentiation (By similarity). Plays a role in the development of the central nervous system, skeletal system, lungs, and ureter (PubMed:21826198, PubMed:19595790). Promotes endothelial cell survival, migration and differentiation into network structures in an AKT-dependent manner. Also promotes survival of cardiac myocytes (PubMed:20054002). Initiates various signaling cascades by activating different receptors on the cell surface such as DIP2A, TLR4 or BMP receptors (By similarity).
