Collagen and calcium-binding EGF domain-containing protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCBE1 gene. [5] [6]

Contents

Function

CCBE1 is a regulator of the development and growth of the lymphatic system. CCBE1 is necessary for the proteolytic activation of VEGF-C by ADAMTS3, [7] which is the main growth factor for the lymphatic system. [8]

Clinical significance

Hennekam syndrome type I (a generalized lymphatic dysplasia in humans) is associated with mutations in the CCBE1 gene, [9] and the molecular etiology of the disease has been elucidated. [7]
