Official gene symbol | | FIGF |
Full name | | c-fos induced growth factor (vascular endothelial growth factor D) |
Aliases | | ,VEGF-D,VEGFD, |
Gene summary | | The 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] |
