Gene: VEGFC

Alternate names for this Gene: Flt4-L|LMPH1D|LMPHM4|VRP

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (PDGF/VEGF) family. The encoded protein promotes angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, and can also affect the permeability of blood vessels. The proprotein is further cleaved into a fully processed form that can bind and activate VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 receptors.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 4

Location in Chromosome : 4q34.3

Description of this Gene: vascular endothelial growth factor C

Type of Gene: protein-coding
