Vascular endothelial growth inhibitor (VEGI) belongs to the human tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family and acts as a multifunctional cytokine.
VEGI is expressed predominantly in endothelial cells and is an endothelial cell-specific negative regulator of angiogenesis.
Human VEGI protein contains 174 amino acids.
The calculated molecular weight is approximately 20kD.
An experiment examining in vitro transcription and translation involving the use of a cDNA clone as a template revealed a similar molecular weight of approximately 22kD.
Hydrophobicity analysis predicts a 13 amino acid hydrophobic region that follows the C-terminal segment of 12 residues; this is typical of a type II transmembrane protein with the C-terminus on the extracellular surface, a single transmembrane domain, and a short cytoplasmic tail.
Northern blots reveal that VEGI transcripts have been observed in the endothelial cells of placenta, lung, kidney, skeletal muscle, pancreas, spleen, prostate, small intestine, and colon.
