Abstract excerpt
At sites of angiogenesis, the expression of the key angiogenesis regulator vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its main receptor, VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR-2), are strongly upregulated. Whereas the processes controlling VEGF expression are well described, the mechanisms underlying VEGFR-2 upregulation have remained unclear. We found that endothelial VEGFR-2 expression is strongly reduced in the absence of...
