Abstract
Glioma-derived vascular endothelial cell growth factor (GD-VEGF) is a 46-kDa dimeric glycoprotein mitogen with apparently greater specificity for vascular endothelial cells than the well-characterized fibroblast growth factors. The GD-VEGF cDNA sequence encodes a 190-amino acid residue subunit that is converted, by removal of an amino-terminal hydrophobic secretory leader sequence, to the mature 164-residue subunit characterized by direct amino acid sequencing. The GD-VEGF homodimeric subunit is homologous to the platelet-derived growth factor A and B chains and its oncogene homologue v-sis.Entities:
