Part Description

LP32721-0   Vascular endothelial growth factor
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a sub-family of growth factors, specifically the platelet-derived growth factor family of cystine-knot growth factors. The most important member is VEGF-A. Other members are Placenta growth factor (PGF), VEGF-B, VEGF-C and VEGF-D. The latter ones were discovered later than VEGF-A, and, before their discovery, VEGF-A was called just VEGF.

VEGF growth factors are important signaling proteins involved in both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. When these growth factors are overexpressed, they can contribute to conditions such as cancer, bronchial asthma and diabetes mellitus. Overexpression of VEGFs can also cause vascular disease in the retina of the eye and other parts of the body. Drugs such as bevacizumab can inhibit VEGFs and control or slow those diseases.
