Overexpression of fetal human pigment epithelium-derived factor in Escherichia coli. A functionally active neurotrophic factor.
1 Nov 1993
Abstract excerpt
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a neurotrophic protein present in low amounts in conditioned medium of cultured fetal human retinal pigment epithelial cells. Recently, the PEDF cDNA has been cloned from a fetal human cDNA library, and its derived amino acid sequence identified it as a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) supergene family (Steele, F.
