- Description
- Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA or VEGF) is a growth factor and signaling protein involved in the regulation of angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, and endothelial cell grown. It induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis and induces permeabilization of blood vessels. Three VEGFR isoforms have been identified in humans; VEGFR-1 (Flt-1), VEGFR-2 (KDR/Flk-1) and VEGFR-3 (Flt-4). VEGFR-2 mediates the majority of cellular responses to VEGF. VEGFR-1 is thought to modulate VEGFR-2 signaling or to act as a dummy/decoy receptor to sequester VEGF away from VEGFR-2.
