    basic FUNCTION
  • may be playing a role in the regulation of cell adhesion processes
  • potent proangiogenic transcription factor that promotes angiogenesis by modulating the expression of matrix-degrading proteinases, integrins, and extracellular matrix components (Chen 2004)
  • may play an important role in regulating cerebral angiogenesis (Chen 2004)
  • may be playing a role in scarless wound repair (Jain 2008)
    • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
