pigment epithelium-derived factor

neurotrophic protein; induces extensive neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells; has been shown to be the most potent inhibitor of angiogenesis in the mammalian eye; from cultured pigment epithelial cells of the fetal retina; extracellular neurotrophic protein belonging to the serpin family; amino acid sequence given in first source; also found in fibroblast-like cells; RefSeq NM_002615 (human), NM_011340 (mouse), NM_177927 (rat); do not confuse with EPC1 protein, an enhancer of polycomb homolog 1 protein
