Gene information for VEGFC (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7424
Official gene symbolVEGFC
Full namevascular endothelial growth factor C
Aliases,Flt4-L,VRP,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (PDGF/VEGF) family, is active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, and can also affect the permeability of blood vessels. This secreted protein undergoes a complex proteolytic maturation, generating multiple processed forms which bind and activate VEGFR-3 receptors. Only the fully processed form can bind and activate VEGFR-2 receptors. This protein is structurally and functionally similar to vascular endothelial growth factor D. [provided by RefSeq]
