Gene information for FIGF (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2277
Official gene symbolFIGF
Full namec-fos induced growth factor (vascular endothelial growth factor D)
Aliases,VEGF-D,VEGFD,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (PDGF/VEGF) family and is active in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and endothelial cell growth. This secreted protein undergoes a complex proteolytic maturation, generating multiple processed forms which bind and activate VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 receptors. This protein is structurally and functionally similar to vascular endothelial growth factor C. [provided by RefSeq]
