About This Section

EntrezGene summary for VEGFA:
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]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: VEGFA_HUMAN, P15692
Function: Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. Induces
endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis, and induces
permeabilization of blood vessels. Binds to the VEGFR1/Flt-1 and VEGFR2/Kdr receptors, heparan
sulfate and heparin. Neuropilin-1 binds isoforms VEGF-165 and VEGF-145. Isoform VEGF165B binds to
VEGFR2/Kdr but doesn't activate downstream signaling pathways, doesn't activate angiogenesis and
inhibits tumor growth

About This Section

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: VEGFA_HUMAN, P15692 (See protein sequence)
Recommended Name: Vascular endothelial growth factor A precursor  
Size: 232 amino acids; 27042 Da
Subunit: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Also found as heterodimer with PlGF (By similarity)
Subcellular location: Secreted. Note=VEGF121 is acidic and freely secreted. VEGF165 is more basic,
has heparin-binding properties and, although a signicant proportion remains cell-associated, most
is freely secreted. VEGF189 is very basic, it is cell-associated after secretion and is bound
avidly by heparin and the extracellular matrix, although it may be released as a soluble form by
heparin, heparinase or plasmin
