Abbreviation for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C. An under expression of this gene has been found and/or is believed to be responsible for Milroy's Disease (Milroy's Syndrome), Hereditary Lymphedema I.
An over expression of VEGF-C is indicative of lymphatic (cancer) metastasis.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (PDGF/VEGF) family, is active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, and can also affect the permeability of blood vessels. This secreted protein undergoes a complex proteolytic maturation, generating multiple processed forms which bind and activate VEGFR-3 receptors. Only the fully processed form can bind and activate VEGFR-2 receptors. This protein is structurally and functionally similar to vascular endothelial growth factor D.
