MeSH definition : A 180-kDa VEGF receptor found primarily in endothelial cells that is essential for
vasculogenesis and vascular maintenance. It is also known as Flt-1 (fms-like tyrosine
kinase receptor-1). A soluble, alternatively spliced isoform of the receptor may serve
as a binding protein that regulates the availability of various ligands for VEGF receptor
binding and signal transduction.;
