DEFINITION

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (1363 aa, ~153 kDa) is encoded by the human FLT4 gene. This protein is involved in tyrosine phosphorylation, lymph vessel formation and ligand-dependent signaling.

DesignNote

A type I membrane protein tyrosine kinase receptor for VEGF-C, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3, contains seven immunoglobulin-like C2-type domains. Vascular endothelial growth factors, working through VEGF receptor-3, promote angiogenesis and metastatic spread of cancer cells. (from Nat Med 2001. 7:151 & 186)
