An object of the present invention is to provide a chimera VEGF-E having a
reduced antigenicity while maintaining the activity of VEGF-E. The
present invention provides a chimera protein having an activity of
growing vascular endothelial cells, which is obtained by substituting a
part of the sequence of a VEGF analogous protein having an activity of
vascularization that binds to KDR (VEGF receptor-2) but does not bind to
Flt-1 (VEGF receptor-1) with a corresponding sequence of a human-derived
VEGF analogous protein.
