Nucleic acid sequences encoding CMG proteins, CMG proteins, and methods for their use

摘要

Differential gene expression assays were used to identify a number of sequences in an in vitro model of human capillary tube formation. Nucleic acid sequences encoding the capillary morphogenesis gene CMG-1 and CMG-2 proteins are disclosed. The nucleic acids and proteins are useful in constructing vectors, recombinant cells, fusion proteins, and in methods for the isolation of matrix proteins.
