Summary: Enables growth factor activity. Involved in phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and regulation of vasculature development. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; mesoderm; nervous system; pleuroperitoneal region; and podocyte. Used to study proteinuria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human VEGFA (vascular endothelial growth factor A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
