Function

Major connective tissue mitoattractant secreted by vascular endothelial cells. Promotes proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes (By similarity). Mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in many cell types including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells (By similarity). Enhances fibroblast growth factor-induced DNA synthesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000269PubMed:9184077}. Secreted {ECO:0000269PubMed:9184077}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Testis, spleen, kidney, lung, heart, and brain (lowest level in testis and highest in lung).
