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.
胶质瘤衍生的血管内皮细胞生长因子(GD-VEGF)是一种46 kDa的二聚体糖蛋白促细胞分裂剂,与特征明确的成纤维细胞生长因子相比,它对血管内皮细胞的特异性明显更高。GD-VEGF cDNA序列编码一个由190个氨基酸残基组成的亚基,通过去除氨基末端的疏水分泌前导序列,该亚基转变为通过直接氨基酸测序表征的成熟的164个残基的亚基。GD-VEGF同型二聚体亚基与血小板衍生生长因子A链和B链及其癌基因同源物v-sis同源。
