Mouse Endocrine Gland-Derived Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor: A Distinct Expression Pattern from Its Human Ortholog Suggests Different Roles as a Regulator of Organ-Specific Angiogenesis
Abstract
We recently described human endocrine gland-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (EG-VEGF) as an endothelial cell mitogen with a novel selective activity and an expression pattern essentially limited to steroidogenic glands. Herein we present the identification and characterization of the mouse ortholog. The mouse cDNA and predicted amino acid sequences are, respectively, 86% and 88% identical with the human. Surprisingly, the mouse...
