The present invention relates to a member of a novel gene family referred to as developmentally-regulated endothelial cell locus-1(del-1). In particular, the invention relates to del-1 nucleotidesequences, Del-1 amino acid sequences, methods of expressing a functional gene product, and methods of using the gene and gene product. Structurally, members of this gene family contain three EGF-like domains and two discoidin I/factor VIII-like domains. Since del-1 is expressed in endothelial cells and certain cancer cells, it may be useful as an endothelial cell and tumor marker. In addition, the ability of Del-1 to inhibit vascular formation allows its use as an anti-angiogenic agent.

La présente invention concerne un membre d'une nouvelle famille de gènes appelé locus-1 de cellules endothéliales à développement régulé (del-1). Elle concerne notamment des séquences nucléotidiques del-1, des séquences d'acides aminés Del-1, des procédés permettant d'exprimer un produit génique fonctionnel et d'utiliser ledit gène et ledit produit génique. Structuralement, les membres de ladite famille de gènes contiennent trois domaines semblables au facteur de croissance des cellules épithéliales (EGF) et deux domaines semblables à discoïdine I/facteur VIII. Puisque del-1 est exprimé dans les cellules endothéliales et dans certaines cellules cancéreuses, il peut être utile comme marqueur de cellules endothéliales et de tumeurs. De plus, la capacité qu'a Del-1 d'inhiber la formation de vaisseaux permet de l'utiliser comme agent anti-angiogénique.
