Description
Exhibits growth factor activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; circulatory system development; and regulation of vasculature development. Predicted to localize to extracellular space. Used to study proteinuria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); hypertension (multiple); reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and retinal disease (multiple). Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; mesoderm; nervous system; podocyte; and trunk. Orthologous to human VEGFA (vascular endothelial growth factor A).
