Description

General description

The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene is localized on human chromosome 6p21.3 and is thought to encode four different isoforms. It signals through the three receptors, that is, fms-like tyrosine kinase (flt-1), KDR gene product (the murine homolog of KDR is the flk-1 gene product) and the flt4 gene product. The protein is expressed in vascularized tissues.

This gene is a member of the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family and encodes a protein that is often found as a disulfide linked homodimer. This protein is a glycosylated mitogen that specifically acts on endothelial cells and has various effects, including mediating increased vascular permeability, inducing angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth, promoting cell migration, and inhibiting apoptosis. Elevated levels of this protein is linked to POEMS syndrome, also known as Crow-Fukase syndrome. Mutations in this gene have been associated with proliferative and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants, encoding either freely secreted or cell-associated isoforms, have been characterized. There is also evidence for the use of non-AUG (CUG) translation initiation sites upstream of, and in-frame with the first AUG, leading to additional isoforms. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent growth and angiogenic cytokine. It stimulates the proliferation and survival of endothelial cells. It promotes angiogenesis and vascular permeability. VEGF is involved in the induction of tumor metastasis and intraocular neovascular syndromes.Polymorphism in the gene encoding it is linked with diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes.
