Description
Endocrine gland-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (EG-VEGF), also called prokineticin 1 (PK1), is a member of the prokineticin family of secreted proteins that share a common structural motif containing ten conserved cysteine residues that form five pairs of disulfide bonds. The mature region in mouse is 93% and 87% aa identical to the mature regions in rat and human. Mouse EGVEGF stimulates proliferation and survival of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, and, in mouse, EG-VEGF acts to induce monocyte migration and stimulate hematopoiesis.
