basic FUNCTION
| putatively involved in sperm maturation |
|
may be playing a role in the interaction of lymphocytes with ITGA4B1-expressing leukocytes |
|
playing a role in cell proliferation and progression of the lung carcinomas |
|
may function as positive regulator of growth and differentiation of dental papilla mesenchymal cells and act as an important molecule mediating reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal signaling during tooth organ development  |
|
involved in cell proliferation through enhanced bioavailability of IGFI released from the IGF1/IGFBP3 complex by selective IGFBP3 cleavage in breast carcinomas |
|
degrading proteoglycans and may be involved in cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis  |
|
may promote angiogenesis in the breast carcinoma tissues by releasing vascular endothelial growth factor165 (VEGF165) after digestion of CTGF in the CTGF/VEGF165 complex  |
