• Background: The homeobox gene Prox-1 was originally cloned by homology to the Drosophila melanogaster gene prospero. Prox-1 is expressed in a subpopulation of endothelial cells which by budding and sprouting, give rise to the lymphatic system. Prox-1-deficient homozygous mice have unaffected vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, but liver and lymphatics do not develop. Human Prox-1 gene has been mapped to chromosome 1q32.2-q32.3, and its product shows 94% similarity to the chicken protein. The conserved structure and expression pattern of the Prox-1 gene imply that it may play the same roles in humans as in other vertebrates. The human Prox-1 gene is most actively expressed in the developing lens. Anti-Prox-1 antibodies provide a highly specific marker of lymphatic endothelial cells.
