Enables identical protein binding activity and insulin-like growth factor II binding activity. Involved in cell migration and positive regulation of stress-activated MAPK cascade. Part of insulin-like growth factor binary complex. Implicated in obesity. Biomarker of breast cancer; in situ carcinoma; leiomyoma; and neovascular inflammatory vitreoretinopathy.
