Summary: Enables growth factor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of angiogenesis; positive regulation of myelination; and positive regulation of neuron projection regeneration. Located in extracellular space. Used to study brain infarction. Biomarker of cholangiocarcinoma.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
