VEGFA

Oncogene
Vascular endothelial growth factor A, long form UniProt accession P15692

Participates in the induction of key genes involved in the response to hypoxia and in the induction of angiogenesis such as HIF1A (PubMed:35455969). Involved in protecting cells from hypoxia-mediated cell death (By similarity)

Source: UniProt

Homodimer; disulfide-linked (By similarity). Also found as heterodimer with PGF (By similarity). Interacts with NRP1 (PubMed:26503042).

Interacts with isoform 2 of BSG (PubMed:25825981). Interacts with CD82; this interaction inhibits VEGFA-mediated signaling pathway (PubMed:34530889)

  • Microvascular complications of diabetes 1 (MVCD1)

    Pathological conditions that develop in numerous tissues and organs as a consequence of diabetes mellitus. They include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy leading to end-stage renal disease, and diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic retinopathy remains the major cause of new-onset blindness among diabetic adults.

    It is characterized by vascular permeability and increased tissue ischemia and angiogenesis.
