Rabbit Basigin, BSG ELI

Signaling receptor for cyclophilins, essential for PPIA/CYPA and PPIB/CYPB-dependent signaling related to chemotaxis and adhesion of immune cells (By similarity).

Plays an important role in targeting the monocarboxylate transporters SLC16A1/GLUT1, SLC16A3, SLC16A8, SLC16A11 and SLC16A12 to the plasma membrane (By similarity).

Acts as a coreceptor for vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (KDR/VEGFR2) in endothelial cells enhancing its VEGFA-mediated activation and downstream signaling (By similarity).

Promotes angiogenesis through EPAS1/HIF2A-mediated up-regulation of VEGFA and KDR/VEGFR2 in endothelial cells (By similarity).
