Descriptor English: Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C
Descriptor Spanish: Factor C de Crecimiento Endotelial Vascular
Descriptor factor C de crecimiento endotelial vascular
Entry term(s) factor C de crecimiento del endotelio vascular
factor de crecimiento del endotelio vascular C
factor de crecimiento endotelial vascular C
Scope note: Factor de crecimiento endotelial vascular que se une específicamente al RECEPTOR-2 DEL FACTOR DE CRECIMIENTO ENDOTELIAL VASCULAR y al RECEPTOR-3 DEL FACTOR DE CRECIMIENTO ENDOTELIAL VASCULAR. Además de ser un factor angiogénico, puede actuar sobre los VASOS LINFÁTICOS estimulando la LINFANGIOGÉNESIS. Su estructura es similar a la del FACTOR D DE CRECIMIENTO ENDOTELIAL VASCULAR porque ambos contienen extensiones N- y C- terminales que no se encontraron en otros miembros de la familia de los factores del crecimiento endotelial vascular.

Scope note: A vascular endothelial growth factor that specifically binds to VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR-2 and VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR-3. In addition to being an angiogenic factor it can act on LYMPHATIC VESSELS to stimulate LYMPHANGIOGENESIS. It is similar in structure to VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR D in that they both contain N- and C-terminal extensions that were not found in other VEGF family members.
