Gene namePGF
Protein namePlacenta growth factor (PlGF)
Placental growth factor (Placental growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor-related protein, isoform CRA_a)
Placental growth factor
SynonymsPLGF
PGFL
hCG_22349
DescriptionFUNCTION: Growth factor active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration. It binds to the receptor FLT1/VEGFR-1. Isoform PlGF-2 binds NRP1/neuropilin-1 and NRP2/neuropilin-2 in a heparin-dependent manner. Also promotes cell tumor growth. .
