disease:Betacellulin from beta cells could play a role in the vascular complications associated with diabetes.,function:Potent mitogen for retinal pigment epithelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. The effects of betacellulin are probably mediated by the EGF receptor and other related receptors.,similarity:Contains 1 EGF-like domain.,subunit:Monomer.,tissue specificity:Synthesized in several tissues and tumor cells. Predominantly expressed in pancreas and small intestine.,
[Betacellulin]: Secreted, extracellular space.; [Probetacellulin]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Synthesized in several tissues and tumor cells. Predominantly expressed in pancreas and small intestine.
