AKT1, p38/MAPK14 (upregulated in proliferating hemangioma but downregulated in involuting hemangioma), and ACTA2 (upregulated in involuting hemangioma but downregulated in proliferating hemangioma) were found to have divergent expression in proliferating and involuting hemangiomas. Here, MAPK14 is linked to hemangioma.
