An angiogenesis inhibitor isolated from shark cartilage, SCF2, has been characterized. SCF2 was shown to have specific angiogenesis-inhibiting activity in endothelial cell culture assays. Results of structural and functional studies indicate that the inhibitor is not a typical protein. It is a heat-stable proteoglycan, which contains keratan sulfate units and peptide. Gel filtration chromatography shows that the molecular weight of the angiogenesis inhibitor is about 10 kd.
