Gene Type | protein-coding |
Organism | Mus musculus(house mouse) |
Genome | |
Summary | This gene encodes a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family that acts as a ligand for vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3. Signalling through this protein is important for growth and development of endothelial and vascular tissue. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
