<p align="justify"></p> | <p align="justify">In mature organisms, neuropilins primarily perform the role of pro-angiogenic co-receptors. Neuropilin-1 works as a specific co-receptor of VEGFR-2 for VEGF-A. After binding and activation, neuropilins promote angiogenesis by stabilizing the VEGF/VEGFR binding. | ||

Researchers also think that neuropilins affect the vascular motility of endothelial cells, independently of their action on the protein complex VEGF/VEGFR. | |||
