Characterization of the receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1990
Vascular endothelial growth factor (vEGF) is a recently discovered mitogen for endothelial cells. It is also a potent angiogenic factor. We have characterized the vEGF receptors of endothelial cells using both binding and cross-linking techniques. Scatchard analysis of equilibrium binding experiments revealed two types of high-affinity binding sites on

Alk1 Signaling in Vascular Development [PDF]

, 2013
Heterozygous loss of the endothelial-specific transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) Type 1 receptor, activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1), results in the autosomal dominant disorder, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia type 2 (HHT2), which is ...

The mitogenic potential of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor in the human endometrium is mediated by the epidermal growth factor receptor and is modulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha [PDF]

, 2002
Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF), a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, is implicated in a variety of biological processes, including reproduction.

Diabetic Retinopathy and BDNF: A Review on Its Molecular Basis and Clinical Applications

Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020
Impairment of neuroprotection and vasculopathy are the main reasons for the progression of diabetic retinopathy. In this review, we decided to illustrate the molecular and clinical aspects of diabetic retinal neuro-vasculopathy.

Serum Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-1 Levels in Patients With Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Archives of Rheumatology, 2019
Objectives: This study aims to compare the serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (VEGFR-1) levels between patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and healthy controls. Patients and methods: The study included 40 female patients (mean age 39.9±10.2 years; range, 22 to 52 years) diagnosed ...

An examination of VEGF, its receptors and the adherens junction component, β-catenin in the development of primary varicose veins

, 2010
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) plays a central role in the maintenance of vascular reactivity and its aberrant control/function is implicated in the development of varicose veins (VVs).

A Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase/Phospholipase Cgamma1 Pathway Regulates Fibroblast Growth Factor-Induced Capillary Tube Formation

, 2009
Background: The fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are key regulators of embryonic development, tissue homeostasis and tumour angiogenesis. Binding of FGFs to their receptor(s) results in activation of several intracellular signalling cascades including ...
