PEDF and its roles in physiological and pathological conditions: implication in diabetic and hypoxia-induced angiogenic diseases
19 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a broadly expressed multifunctional member of the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) family. This widely studied protein plays critical roles in many physiological and pathophysiological processes, including neuroprotection, angiogenesis, fibrogenesis and inflammation. The present review summarizes the temporal and spatial distribution patterns of PEDF in a variety of...
