== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Major connective tissue mitoattractant secreted by vascular endothelial cells. Promotes proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes. Mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in many cell types including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells. Enhances fibroblast growth factor-induced DNA synthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10614647, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12553878}.
