Its expression is highest in the retina and also occurs in several other tissues including liver and brain. PEDF has neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties. The PEDF protein works mechanically by interacting with receptors on cell surfaces to inhibit angiogenesis and promote neuronal survival and differentiation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nPEDF plays a significant role in controlling angiogenesis due to its ability to inhibit excessive blood vessel formation. This makes PEDF essential in balancing the vasculature and nutrient availability in tissues. While PEDF does not form part of a larger protein complex its activity influences the biological interplay between cells by stabilizing the extracellular matrix and influencing cell signaling pathways involved in maintaining tissue homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nPEDF interacts directly within the angiogenesis and neuroprotection pathways influencing cellular processes critical for normal tissue function. In angiogenesis PEDF disrupts the VEGF pathway by serving as an inhibitor thereby restricting uncontrolled vessel growth. It also plays a role in neuroprotection pathways where it cooperates with proteins like nerve growth factor to enhance neuronal survival and repair processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPEDF relates significantly to diabetic retinopathy and cancer. PEDF's angiogenesis inhibition has therapeutic implications in diabetic retinopathy where unregulated blood vessel growth leads to vision loss. It also shows potential in cancer therapy by targeting tumor angiogenesis. In both conditions its interaction with VEGF is notable as it competes to modulate angiogenesis with potential consequences for disease progression and treatment strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843557052585,"sku":"ab246535","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab246535","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
