Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; receptor ligand activity; and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including branching involved in ureteric bud morphogenesis; glycogen metabolic process; and placenta development. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; gut gland; musculature; reproductive system; and urinary system.
