Medical Definition of Endothelial growth factors

1. These growth factors are soluble mitogens secreted by a variety of organs. The factors are a mixture of two single chain polypeptides which have affinity to heparin. Their molecular weight are organ and species dependent. They have mitogenic and chemotactic effects and can stimulate endothelial cells to grow and synthesise DNA. The factors are related to both the basic and acidic fibroblast growth factors but have different amino acid sequences. (12 Dec 1998)
