A novel gene derived from developing spinal cords, SCDGF, is a unique member of the PDGF/VEGF family.
We isolated a novel gene designated spinal cord-derived growth factor (SCDGF). Its expression was increased in chick spinal cords with embryonic development and decreased after hatching. The amino acid sequences of SCDGF is homologous to the members of the PDGF/VEGF family. Furthermore, SCDGF secreted from the cells showed a mitogenic activity.
