Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an endothelium-specific mitogen that induces angiogenesis and increases vascular permeability. These processes involve regulation of cell-cell adhesion, but molecular mechanisms have yet to be fully established. p120, also termed p120(ctn), and its variant p100 are catenins which associate with cadherins and localize to adherens junctions. VEGF was reported to...
