Definition
English
:
The original member of the
family
of endothelial cell
growth
factors referred to as
VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTORS
. Vascular endothelial
growth
factor-A was originally isolated from tumor
cells
and referred to as "tumor angiogenesis factor" and "vascular
permeability
factor". Although expressed at high levels in certain tumor-derived
cells
it is produced by a wide variety of cell types. In addition to stimulating vascular
growth
and vascular
permeability
it may play a
role
in stimulating
VASODILATION
via NITRIC OXIDE-dependent pathways.
Alternative splicing
of the mRNA for
vascular endothelial growth factor A
results in several isoforms of the protein being produced.
