Function
Isoform F plays a role as a growth factor acting on the primitive cells of both hematopoietic and endothelial cell lineages.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Highly expressed in synovial tissue, cartilage and liver and weakly in heart and lung. Isoform B is expressed in kidney, lung, liver, heart and brain. Isoform C and isoform D are widely expressed
Disease Association: Camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis syndrome (CACP) : An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the association of congenital or early-onset camptodactyly and non-inflammatory arthropathy with synovial hyperplasia. Individuals with CACP have normal appearing joints at birth but with advancing age develop joint failure, non-inflammatory synoviocyte hyperplasia and subintimal fibrosis of the synovial capsule. Some patients also manifest progressive coxa vara deformity and/or non-inflammatory pericardial or pleural effusions. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
