General description: The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene is localized on human chromosome 6p21.3 and is thought to encode four different isoforms. It signals through the three receptors, that is, fms-like tyrosine kinase (flt-1), KDR gene product (the murine homolog of KDR is the flk-1 gene product) and the flt4 gene product. The protein is expressed in vascularized tissues.
Application: Monoclonal Anti-VEGF antibody produced in mouse has been used in Western Blotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent growth and angiogenic cytokine. It stimulates the proliferation and survival of endothelial cells. It promotes angiogenesis and vascular permeability. VEGF is involved in the induction of tumor metastasis and intraocular neovascular syndromes.Polymorphism in the gene encoding it is linked with diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes.
