Abstract

Endothelial SCUBE2 Interacts With VEGFR2 and Regulates VEGF-Induced Angiogenesis.

Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology, 2017; PubMed, Homo sapiens SCUBE2 — Homo sapiens KDR
ABSTRACT: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a major mediator of angiogenesis, exerts its proangiogenic action by binding to VEGFR2 (VEGF receptor 2), the activity of which is further modulated by VEGFR2 coreceptors such as neuropilins. However, whether VEGFR2 is regulated by additional coreceptors is not clear. To investigate whether SCUBE2 (signal peptide-CUB-EGF domain-containing protein 2), a peripheral membrane protein expressed in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) known to bind other signaling receptors, functions as a VEGFR2 coreceptor and to verify the role of SCUBE2 in the VEGF-induced angiogenesis.
