COSMC is overexpressed in proliferating infantile hemangioma and enhances endothelial cell growth via VEGFR2.

Infantile hemangiomas are localized lesions comprised primarily of aberrant endothelial cells. COSMC plays a crucial role in blood vessel formation and is characterized as a molecular chaperone of T-synthase which catalyzes the synthesis of T antigen (Galβ1,3GalNAc). T antigen expression is associat...
