Summaries for FLT4 Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for FLT4 Gene

  • This gene encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor for vascular endothelial growth factors C and D. The protein is thought to be involved in lymphangiogenesis and maintenance of the lymphatic endothelium. Mutations in this gene cause hereditary lymphedema type IA. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

GeneCards Summary for FLT4 Gene

FLT4 (Fms Related Tyrosine Kinase 4) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with FLT4 include Lymphedema, Hereditary, Ia and Hemangioma, Capillary Infantile. Among its related pathways are GPCR Pathway and MAPK Signaling: Mitogen Stimulation Pathway. GO annotations related to this gene include transferase activity, transferring phosphorus-containing groups and protein tyrosine kinase activity. An important paralog of this gene is KDR.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for FLT4 Gene

  • Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as a cell-surface receptor for VEGFC and VEGFD, and plays an essential role in adult lymphangiogenesis and in the development of the vascular network and the cardiovascular system during embryonic development. Promotes proliferation, survival and migration of endothelial cells, and regulates angiogenic sprouting. Signaling by activated FLT4 leads to enhanced production of VEGFC, and to a lesser degree VEGFA, thereby creating a positive feedback loop that enhances FLT4 signaling. Modulates KDR signaling by forming heterodimers. The secreted isoform 3 may function as a decoy receptor for VEGFC and/or VEGFD and play an important role as a negative regulator of VEGFC-mediated lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis. Binding of vascular growth factors to isoform 1 or isoform 2 leads to the activation of several signaling cascades; isoform 2 seems to be less efficient in signal transduction, because it has a truncated C-terminus and therefore lacks several phosphorylation sites. Mediates activation of the MAPK1/ERK2, MAPK3/ERK1 signaling pathway, of MAPK8 and the JUN signaling pathway, and of the AKT1 signaling pathway. Phosphorylates SHC1. Mediates phosphorylation of PIK3R1, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Promotes phosphorylation of MAPK8 at Thr-183 and Tyr-185, and of AKT1 at Ser-473.

Tocris Summary for FLT4 Gene

  • Vascular endothelial growth factor is a signaling protein involved in the regulation of angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. VEGF binds to and activates a receptor tyrosine kinase, VEGFR, through transphosphorylation. Three VEGFR isoforms have been identified in humans.

Post-translational modifications for FLT4 Gene

  • Autophosphorylated on tyrosine residues upon ligand binding. Autophosphorylation occurs in trans, i.e. one subunit of the dimeric receptor phosphorylates tyrosine residues on the other subunit. Phosphorylation in response to H(2)O(2) is mediated by a process that requires SRC and PRKCD activity. Phosphorylation at Tyr-1068 is required for autophosphorylation at additional tyrosine residues. Phosphorylation at Tyr-1063 and Tyr-1337 is important for interaction with CRK and subsequent activation of MAPK8. Phosphorylation at Tyr-1230, Tyr-1231 and Tyr-1337 is important for interaction with GRB2 and subsequent activation of the AKT1 and MAPK1/ERK2 and/or MAPK3/ERK1 signaling pathways. In response to endothelial cell adhesion onto collagen, can also be phosphorylated in the absence of FLT4 kinase activity by SRC at Tyr-830, Tyr-833, Tyr-853, Tyr-1063, Tyr-1333, and Tyr-1337.

VGFR3_HUMAN
  • Hemangioma, capillary infantile (HCI) [MIM:602089]: A condition characterized by dull red, firm, dome-shaped hemangiomas, sharply demarcated from surrounding skin, usually presenting at birth or occurring within the first two or three months of life. They result from highly proliferative, localized growth of capillary endothelium and generally undergo regression and involution without scarring. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:11807987}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Lymphedema, hereditary, 1A (LMPH1A) [MIM:153100]: A chronic disabling condition which results in swelling of the extremities due to altered lymphatic flow. Patients with lymphedema suffer from recurrent local infections and physical impairment. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:10835628, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10856194, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12881528, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15102829, ECO:0000269 PubMed:16924388, ECO:0000269 PubMed:16965327, ECO:0000269 PubMed:17458866, ECO:0000269 PubMed:19289394, ECO:0000269 PubMed:26091405, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9817924}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Note=Plays an important role in tumor lymphangiogenesis, in cancer cell survival, migration, and formation of metastases.
