Target General Infomation
Target ID
T27186
Former ID
TTDC00176
Target Name
Placenta growth factor
Gene Name
PGF
Synonyms
PlGF-131; PGF
Target Type
Clinical Trial
Disease Macular degeneration [ICD9: 362.5; ICD10: H35.3]
Solid tumours [ICD9: 140-199, 210-229; ICD10: C00-D48]
Function
Growth factor active in angiogenesisand endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration. It binds to the receptor FLT1/VEGFR-1. Isoform PlGF-2 binds NRP1/neuropilin-1 and NRP2/neuropilin-2 in a heparin-dependent manner. Also promotes cell tumor growth.
