| Function | May play a role in cell proliferation, by increasing the binding of EGF to the cells and thereby modulating its action. In doing so, this isozyme binds to a membrane-associated receptor distinct from the EGF receptor and which could be a heparan- sulfate proteoglycan located on the cell membrane. |
| Subcellular Location | Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. |
| Tissue Specificity | Mainly in the Paneth cells adjacent to the stem population in the small intestines. Also expressed in regenerating liver and hyperplastic esophageal epithelium. |
| Top Pathways | Vascular smooth muscle contraction, Pancreatic secretion, Fat digestion and absorption, Ether lipid metabolism, Glycerophospholipid metabolism |
