MeSH Heading: Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C
Tree Number(s): D12.644.276.100.800.400; D12.776.467.100.800.400; D23.529.100.800.400
Unique ID: D042582
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D042582
Scope Note: A vascular endothelial growth factor that specifically binds to VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR-2 and VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR-3. In addition to being an angiogenic factor it can act on LYMPHATIC VESSELS to stimulate LYMPHANGIOGENESIS. It is similar in structure to VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR D in that they both contain N- and C-terminal extensions that were not found in other VEGF family members.
Entry Term(s): VEGF-C; Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-C
