Hemangiopoietin, a novel human growth factor for the primitive cells of both hematopoietic and endothelial cell lineages
24 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
The cells of hematopoietic and vascular endothelial cell lineages are believed to share a common precursor, termed hemangioblast. However, the existence of a growth factor acting relatively specifically on hemangioblasts remains unclear. Here we report the identification of hemangiopoietin (HAPO), a novel growth factor acting on both hematopoietic and endothelial cell lineages. In vitro in the human system,...
