Also known as VEGFL
Summary
VEGFB (vascular endothelial growth factor B, HGNC:12681) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q13.1, encoding Vascular endothelial growth factor B (P49765). Growth factor for endothelial cells.
This gene encodes a member of the PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor)/VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) family. The VEGF family members regulate the formation of blood vessels and are involved in endothelial cell physiology. This member is a ligand for VEGFR-1 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1) and NRP-1 (neuropilin-1). Studies in mice showed that this gene was co-expressed with nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes and the encoded protein specifically controlled endothelial uptake of fatty acids. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified.
