The Angiopoietin-like Factor Cornea-derived Transcript 6 Is a Putative Morphogen for Human Cornea
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
The human cornea-specific protein cornea-derived transcript 6 (CDT6) is a member of the angiopoietin gene family. We report the structural and functional characterization of CDT6. We demonstrate that CDT6 is a secreted protein that folds into disulfide-linked homotetramers by coiled-coil interactions. The finding that CDT6 is expressed at high levels in the avascular corneal stromal layer suggested that the...
