UniProt Protein Function: | VASH1: Angiogenesis inhibitor. Inhibits migration, proliferation and network formation by endothelial cells as well as angiogenesis. This inhibitory effect is selective to endothelial cells as it does not affect the migration of smooth muscle cells or fibroblasts. Does not affect the proliferation of cancer cells in vitro, but inhibits tumor growth and tumor angiogenesis. Acts in an autocrine manner. Inhibits artery neointimal formation and macrophage infiltration. Exhibits heparin-binding activity. Belongs to the vasohibin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |
UniProt Protein Details: | Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 14q24.3 Cellular Component: extracellular space; apical part of cell; endoplasmic reticulum; cytoplasm Biological Process: negative regulation of angiogenesis; negative regulation of endothelial cell proliferation; response to wounding; angiogenesis; cell cycle arrest; negative regulation of blood vessel endothelial cell migration |
