Scope note: Proteína angiogénica perteneciente a la familia de factores de crecimiento vascular endotelial, aislada y clonada originalmente de una genoteca de ADNc de placenta. Existen cuatro isoformas de PLGF 1-4 resultantes del corte y empalme alternativo. El factor de crecimiento placentario se segrega como homodímero glucosilado que actúa como mitógeno de las células endoteliales y su expresión está aumentada en la hipoxia, la inflamación tisular y el cáncer.

Scope note: An angiogenic protein belonging to the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor family of growth factors originally isolated and cloned from human placental cDNA library. There are four isoforms of PLGF 1-4 which result from alternative splicing. Placenta Growth Factor is secreted as a glycosylated homodimer which acts as a mitogen for endothelial cells, and its expression is markedly upregulated during hypoxia and in tissue inflammation and cancer.
