Alternate Names:  VEGF-A, VPF, glioma-derived endothelial cell mitogen              

Accession Number: Q00731-3
Description:  Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is produced by a wide variety of cell types, including tumor and vascular cells.  VEGF-A is a mediator of vascular growth, vascular permeability, and plays a role in stimulating vasodilation via nitric oxide-dependent pathways.  Mouse VEGF-A has several alternatively spliced isoforms, with one being VEGF-120.  VEGF-120 is an angiogenic factor that is expressed throughout endochondral bone development and is important during skeletogenesis.
