Q9ULH7

BCAR4

Acts as a transcriptional coactivator of serum responsefactor (SRF). Required for skeletal myogenic differentiation.{ECO:0000269|PubMed:14565952}. Lectin that binds to various sugars: galactose > mannose= fucose > N-acetylglucosamine > N-acetylgalactosamine(PubMed:10224141). Acts as a chemoattractant, probably involved inthe regulation of cell migration (PubMed:28301481).{ECO:0000269|PubMed:10224141, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28301481}.
