[shark cartilage angiogenesis inhibitory factor-1] This protein of 18 kDa has been isolated from shark cartilage (Shen et al, 2000). It specifically inhibits the proliferation of endothelial cells, and strongly blocks endothelial cell movement and angiogenesis in the Chicken chorioallantoic membrane assay. Systemic administration of SCAIF-1 suppresses the growth of Lewis lung carcinoma implanted in C57BL/6 mice.
