This factor is identical to prokineticin-1 and is a member of the AVIT protein family. Expression of human EG-VEGF messenger RNA is restricted to the steroidogenic glands, ovary, testis, adrenal and placenta and is often complementary to the expression of VEGF. EG-VEGF has been identified as a mitogen specific for the endothelium of steroidogenic glands. EG-VEGF resembles VEGF in that it causes extensive angiogenesis and cyst formation when delivered in the ovary. EG-VEGF differs from VEGF in that it does not promote angiogenesis in the cornea or skeletal muscle. Two receptors have been characterized and are expressed in gastrointestinal organs, endocrine glands and other tissues. The G-protein-coupled receptors ZAQ and I5E both function as the EG-VEGF receptor.

EG-VEGF is a secreted angiogenetic mitogen growth factor expressed in the steroidogenic glands, ovary, testis, adrenal gland, and placenta. EG-VEGF induces proliferation, migration, and fenestration (formation of membrane discontinuities) in capillary endothelial cells derived from endocrine glands. The human EG-VEGF gene codes for a 105 amino acid polypeptide containing an N-terminal signal sequence of 19 amino acids. Recombinant Human EG-VEGF is a 9.6 kDa protein consisting of 86 amino acid residues, including ten cysteine residues that potentially form five pairs of intra-molecular disulfide bonds.
