Function

Peptide sites

Anti-angiogenesis

34-mer peptide region (residues 24–57)

Collagen binding (anti-angiogenesis)

Asp256,Asp258, Asp300 (negatively charged), Arg149, Lys166, Lys167 (positively charged). Asp255, Asp257 and Asp299 are critical to collagen-I-binding

Cell differentiation

44-mer peptide region (residues 58–101)

Heparin binding

Arg145, Lys146 and Arg148

Hyaluronan

Lys189, Lys191, Arg194 and Lys197 form a motif that is critical for hyaluronan binding (Becerra et al. [42])

Laminin binding

34-mer peptide region (residues 44–77) (Bernard et al. [46])

Phosphorylation

Ser24, Ser114, Ser227

Neurotrophy

44-mer peptide region (residues in humans 78–121)

Tumor cell apoptosis

34-mer peptide region (residues 24–57)
