Placenta growth factor (PlGF) belongs to the family of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs). It binds to the flt-1 VEGF receptor but not to the KDR/flk-1 receptor which is thought to mediate most of the angiogenic and proliferative effects of VEGF. Three PlGF isoforms are produced by alternative splicing. PlGF-1 and PlGF-3 differ from PlGF-2 since they lack the exon 6 encoded peptide which bestows upon...
