May be involved in macrophage-mediated cellular proliferation. It is mitogenic for fibroblasts and smooth muscle but not endothelial cells. It is able to bind EGF receptors with higher affinity than EGF itself and is a far more potent mitogen for smooth muscle cells than EGF (By similarity). Plays an important role in the proper development of cranial nerves by inhibting the migration of the cranial neural crest cells (NCCs) migration into the odd-numbered neuromeres (r3 and r5) of the hindbrain. Plays a role in mediating v-Jun-induced oncogenic transformation.
