Gene information for PROK1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID84432
Official gene symbolPROK1
Full nameprokineticin 1
Aliases,EGVEGF,PK1,PRK1,
Gene summaryEndocrine gland-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (EG-VEGF) induces proliferation, migration, and fenestration in capillary endothelial cells derived from endocrine glands. Its expression is induced by hypoxia and is restricted to the steroidogenic glands (ovary, testis, adrenal, and placenta). Its expression is often complementary to the expression of VEGF (MIM 192240), suggesting that these molecules function in a coordinated manner.[supplied by OMIM]
