Publication number: 20110319327Abstract: The present invention involves the identification and preparation of vascular endothelial growth factor-E (VEGF-E). VEGF-E is a novel polypeptide related to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic protein 1. VEGF-E has homology to VEGF including conservation of the amino acids required for activity of VEGF. VEGF-E can be useful in wound repair, as well as in the generation and regeneration of tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2011Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: Genentech, Inc.Inventors: Napoleone Ferrara, Sophia S. Kuo
