Cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61, also known as CYR61, is a growth factor-inducible, immediate-early gene that has multifaceted activities in various cancers. CYR61 is a secreted heparin-binding extracellular matrix-associated protein whose activities include the promotion of adhesion and chemotaxis, and the stimulation of fibroblast and endothelial cell growth. CYR61 induces angiogenesis and promotes tumor growth and is expressed in dermal fibroblasts during cutaneous wound healing.
