[human inhibitor angiogenesis factor-1] The cDNA for this factor has been cloned from human fetal liver tissue (Guo et al, 2000). The sequence appears to be a C-terminal fragment of human collagen type 18 and is thus identical with Endostatin.
The factor inhibits proliferation of endothelial cells in vitro. In vivo (transplanted tumors in a mouse model) the factor blocks growth and metastasis of tumors by blocking tumor angiogenesis.
