Extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) has angiogenic properties and is expressed by breast tumor cells
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
Tumor growth and metastasis are critically dependent on the formation of new blood vessels. The present study found that extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1), a newly described secretory glycoprotein, promotes angiogenesis. This was initially suggested by in situ hybridization studies of mouse embryos indicating that the ECM1 message was associated with blood vessels and its expression pattern was similar to...
