Avian VEGF-C: cloning, embryonic expression pattern and stimulation of the differentiation of VEGFR2-expressing endothelial cell precursors
15 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
VEGF-C is a recently discovered secreted polypeptide related to the angiogenic mitogen VEGF. We have isolated the quail VEGF-C cDNA and shown that its protein product is secreted from transfected cells and interacts with the avian VEGFR3 and VEGFR2. In situ hybridization shows that quail VEGF-C mRNA is strongly expressed in regions destined to be rich in lymphatic vessels, particularly the mesenteries,...
