Disease relevance of Prok1

 

High impact information on Prok1

  • The identification of the receptors for EG-VEGF/prokineticins may provide a novel molecular basis for the regulation of angiogenesis in endocrine glands [2].
  • Endocrine gland-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (EG-VEGF, identical to prokineticin 1) is a novel peptide recently identified as a selective mitogen for endocrine gland endothelial cells [2].
