Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors A family of closely related receptor protein-tyrosine kinases that bind vascular endothelial growth factors. They share a cluster of seven extracellular Ig-like domains which are important for ligand binding. They are highly expressed in vascular endothelial cells and are critical for the physiological and pathological growth, development and maintenance of blood and lymphatic vessels.
