Facts about Endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1.
Regulates the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and appears to be implicated in the development of blood vessels and the tubular system of lung. May also play a role in the formation of the endothelium that gives rise to the blood brain barrier.
