Promotes cell proliferation. Modulates apoptotic pathways. Increases mitogen-activated protein kinase activity and STK26 activity. Important for cell migration, and for normal structure and assbly of the Golgi complex. Important for KDR,VEGFR2 signaling. Increases the stability of KDR,VEGFR2 and prevents its breakdown. Required for normal cardiovascular development. Required for normal angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and hatopoiesis during bryonic development .
