Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. Induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis and induces permeabilization of blood vessels. Binds to the FLT1/VEGFR1 and KDR/VEGFR2 receptors, heparan sulfate and heparin. Binding to NRP1 receptor initiates a signaling pathway needed for motor neuron axon guidance and cell body migration, including for the caudal migration of facial motor neurons from rhombomere 4 to rhombomere 6 during embryonic development.

6. VEGF production, blood vessel network and follicle remodeling are impaired by the antiprogesterone RU486. PMID: 24756033
7. findings suggest that the augmented neovascular response seen with VEGF administration was through the VEGF-induced upregulation of Notch signaling. PMID: 24366099
8. interleukin-1beta-induced vascular endothelial growth factor in airway smooth muscle cells PMID: 24142467
9. Upregulation of VEGF during hypoxia in chondrocyte is mediated partially through HIF-1alpha. PMID: 22970342
10. data shows that members of the VEGF-VEGFR system are temporally and spatially well localized for playing key roles during umbilical cord formation and its intensive growth observed after day 75 of pregnancy PMID: 20825582
11. cardiac-specific and hypoxia-induced coexpression of VEGF and Ang1 improves the perfusion and function of porcine MI heart through the induction of angiogenesis and cardiomyocyte proliferation PMID: 21245320
12. The mRNA for VEGFA was expressed in early developing and in maturing glomeruli. PMID: 20713984
13. Data show that subventricular zone neural stem cells express VEGF and all VEGF splice variants, VEGFR1, VEGFR2 and Neuropilin-1 and -2 mRNAs. PMID: 20552272
14. The earlier increase in VEGF protein and mRNA expression in the Meishan versus the Yorkshire conceptus may explain the previously reported increased vascularity and increased placental efficiency of this breed compared the Yorkshire breed. PMID: 14998908
15. Contrast media did not affect bone marrow cell viability/VEGF secretion. PMID: 15274157
16. VEGF upregulation in the proliferative zone after ischemic damage may play a role in stimulating vascular invasion and granulation tissue formation in the necrotic hypertrophic zone of the epiphyseal cartilage PMID: 15537448
17. Data demonstrate that lipopolysaccharides evoke a heat shock response, with an increase heat shock proteins 70 and Hsp32) and of VEGF, a specific endothelial cell growth factor. PMID: 16333987
18. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in the thecal angiogenesis during follicular development. PMID: 16372043

26. Hemodialysis graft placement leads to early increases in wall shear stress, VEGF-A, pro-MMP-9, MMP-2, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, and TIMP-1, which may contribute to the development of venous stenosis. PMID: 18326810
27. Interaction of soluble factors in plasma possibly generated during PICSO are not responsible for upregulation of HO-1 and VEGF mRNA. PMID: 19618599
