Vascular endothelial growth factor a

Preferred Label : Vascular endothelial growth factor a;

Symbol : VEGFA;

CISMeF acronym : VEGF; VEGFA;

Type : Gene;

Alternative titles and symbols : VEGF;

Description : Many polypeptide mitogens, such as basic fibroblast growth factor (FGFB; 134920) and platelet-derived growth factors (173430, 190040), are active on a wide range of different cell types. In contrast, vascular endothelial growth factor is a mitogen primarily for vascular endothelial cells. It is, however, structurally related to platelet-derived growth factor.;
