Scope note: El miembro original de la familia de los factores de crecimiento de la célula endotelial denominados FACTORES DE CRECIMIENTO ENDOTELIAL VASCULAR. El factor A de crecimiento endotelial vascular fue originalmente aislado de células tumorales y se le denominó 'factor de angiogénesis tumoral' y 'factor de permeabilidad vascular'. Aunque expresado en concentraciones elevadas en ciertas células derivadas de tumores, es producido por una amplia variedad de tipos celulares. Además de estimular el crecimiento y la permeabilidad vascular, puede tener un papel en la estimulación de la VASODILATACIÓN por vías dependientes del ÓXIDO NÍTRICO. El corte y empalme alternante del ARNm del factor A de crecimiento endotelial vascular da lugar a varias isoformas de la proteína que se produce.

Scope note: The original member of the family of endothelial cell growth factors referred to as VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTORS. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A was originally isolated from tumor cells and referred to as "tumor angiogenesis factor" and "vascular permeability factor". Although expressed at high levels in certain tumor-derived cells it is produced by a wide variety of cell types. In addition to stimulating vascular growth and vascular permeability it may play a role in stimulating VASODILATION via NITRIC OXIDE-dependent pathways. Alternative splicing of the mRNA for vascular endothelial growth factor A results in several isoforms of the protein being produced.
