VASH1 Gene Summary [Human]
Enables actin binding activity and metallocarboxypeptidase activity. Involved in negative regulation of angiogenesis; negative regulation of blood vessel endothelial cell migration; and proteolysis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of endothelial cell migration; negative regulation of endothelial cell proliferation; and negative regulation of lymphangiogenesis. Located in apical part of cell; endoplasmic reticulum; and extracellular space. Implicated in liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Biomarker of liver cirrhosis.

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human VASH1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
