Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Participates in the induction of key genes involved in the response to hypoxia and in the induction of angiogenesis such as HIF1A (PubMed:35455969). Involved in protecting cells from hypoxia-mediated cell death (By similarity).FUNCTION Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth (PubMed:34530889). 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. Binds to the NRP1/neuropilin-1 receptor. Binding to NRP1 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 (By similarity). Also binds the DEAR/FBXW7-AS1 receptor (PubMed:17446437).FUNCTION Binds to the KDR receptor but does not activate downstream signaling pathways, does not activate angiogenesis and inhibits tumor growth.SUBUNIT Homodimer; disulfide-linked (By similarity). Also found as heterodimer with PGF (By similarity). Interacts with NRP1 (PubMed:26503042). Interacts with isoform 2 of BSG (PubMed:25825981). Interacts with CD82; this interaction inhibits VEGFA-mediated signaling pathway (PubMed:34530889).INTERACTION Cytoplasmic in normoxic conditions and localizes to the nucleus under hypoxic conditions.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Cell-associated after secretion and is bound avidly by heparin and the extracellular matrix, although it may be released as a soluble form by heparin, heparinase or plasmin.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS A subset of isoforms are produced by use of an alternative upstream CUG codon, giving rise to long isoforms which have an N-terminal extension compared to the classical shorter AUG-initiated forms. These longer forms are post-translationally processed to produce an N-terminal N-VEGF chain and a C-terminal VEGFA chain.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Higher expression in pituitary tumors than the pituitary gland.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Widely expressed.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Widely expressed.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Widely expressed.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Not widely expressed.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Not widely expressed.INDUCTION By hypoxia. Regulated by growth factors, cytokines, gonadotropins, nitric oxide, hypoglycemia and oncogenic mutations.PTM Produced by use of an alternative upstream CUG codon and post-translationally processed into the N-terminal N-VEGF form and the C-terminal secreted VEGFA form.DISEASE Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.MISCELLANEOUS Produced by alternative promoter usage and alternative initiation. Starts at an alternative upstream CUG codon.MISCELLANEOUS Produced by alternative promoter usage and alternative initiation.

The initiator methionine is coded by a non-canonical CTG leucine codon.ONLINE INFORMATION VEGF entry
