Regulates the metabolic activity of the cell

Promotes the growth of new cells and cell multiplication

Helps in detoxifying ammonia in the liver cells

Plays an important role in apoptosis or programmed cell death

Responsible for building certain parts of the blood and various hormones like testosterone and oestrogen

Helps in maintaining an adequate concentration of calcium ions within the compartments of the cell

It is also involved in various cellular activities like cellular differentiation, cell signalling, cell senescence, controlling the cell cycle and also in cell growth.
