DANCE, a Novel Secreted RGD Protein Expressed in Developing, Atherosclerotic, and Balloon-injured Arteries
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
We have identified and characterized mouse, rat, and human cDNAs that encode a novel secreted protein of 448 amino acids named DANCE (developmental arteries and neural crest epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like). DANCE contains six calcium-binding EGF-like domains, one of which includes an RGD motif. Overexpression studies of recombinant DANCE protein document that DANCE is a secreted 66-kDa protein. DANCE and...
