[pigment epithelium-derived factor] A protein of 50 kDa found to be secreted into the conditioned medium of pigment epithelial cells of the fetal human retina (Steele et al, 1992; Tombran-Tink et al, 1992). The protein is being referred to also as early population doubling level cDNA (EPC-1), identified originally as a cDNA the expression of which is upregulated strongly during cell cycle phase G0 in young but not in senescing cultured fibroblasts (Pignolo et al, 1995).

PEDF exhibits approximately 27 % amino acid identity with
