Gene information for Vegfa (Mus musculus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID22339
Official gene symbolVegfa
Full namevascular endothelial growth factor A
AliasesVegf,Vegf120,Vegf164,Vegf188,Vpf
Gene summaryThis gene product is a member of the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. It is a mitogen that specifically acts on endothelial cells and has various effects, including mediating increased vascular permeability, inducing angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, endothelial cell growth, promoting cell migration, and inhibiting apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Also, alternative translation initiation from non-AUG (CUG) and AUG start sites in some transcript variants, give rise to additional isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
