Antigen Details
- Structure
- Homodimer.
- Function
- VEGFA is a key player in vasculogenesis, the formation of blood vessels from progenitor cells, as well as angiogenesis. The expression of the VEGFA gene is upregulated via hypoxia, estrogen, and NF-κB pathways. In addition VEGF is upregulated by PDGF-BB, P1GF, TGFβ1, IGF1, FGFs, HGF, TNFα, and IL-1. VEGFA induces proliferation and cell migration in endothelial cells and plays important roles during wound healing. Also, VEGF regulates hematopoietic stem cell survival.
- Interaction
- VEGFA interacts with vascular endothelial cells and monocytes/macrophages, which express VEGFR1. This interaction induces proliferation of endothelial cells and stimulates migration of monocytes/macrophages.
- Ligand/Receptor
- VEGFR1 (Flt-1) and VEGFR2 (KDR/Flk-1).
- Biology Area
- Angiogenesis, Cancer Biomarkers, Cell Biology, Cell Proliferation and Viability
- Molecular Family
- Cytokines/Chemokines
