    basic FUNCTION
  • acts as an antiangiogenic factor through binding to neogenin (NEO1) and recruitment of UNC5B
  • promotes neurite elongation from olfactory bulb explants and is important in neural, kidney, and vascular development
  • may improve poststroke functional recovery by enhancing blood vessel proliferation (Hoang 2009)
