Background
MVCD1,VAS,vascuLar endotheLiaL growth factor A,VascuLar permeabiLity factor,VascuLotropin,VEGF,VEGFA,VEGF-A,VEGFMGC70609,VPF,VPFvascuLar endotheLiaL growth factor,Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),also known as vascular permeability factor (VPF) and VEGF-A,is a potent mediator of both angiogenesis and vasculogenesis in the fetus and adult. It is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family and often exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer. VEGF-A 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,inhibiting apoptosis and tumor growth. VEGF-A protein is also a vasodilator that increases microvascular permeability,thus it was originally referred to as vascular permeability factor.
