Preferred Label : Placenta Growth Factor; 
MeSH definition : An angiogenic protein belonging to the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor family of
               growth factors originally isolated and cloned from human placental cDNA library. There
               are four isoforms of PLGF 1-4 which result from alternative splicing. Placenta Growth
               Factor is secreted as a glycosylated homodimer which acts as a mitogen for endothelial
               cells, and its expression is markedly upregulated during hypoxia and in tissue inflammation
               and cancer.;
