Predicted to enable vascular endothelial growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including hemocyte migration; neurogenesis; and positive regulation of cell size. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on neuron remodeling. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including Malpighian tubule; Malpighian tubule primordium; anlage in statu nascendi; anterior-posterior subdivision of organism; and gut section.
