Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 2324
Gene name Fms related receptor tyrosine kinase 4
Gene symbol FLT4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CHTD7FLT-4FLT41LMPH1ALMPHM1PCLVEGFR-3VEGFR3
Chromosome 5
Chromosome location 5q35.3
Summary This gene encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor for vascular endothelial growth factors C and D. The protein is thought to be involved in lymphangiogenesis and maintenance of the lymphatic endothelium. Mutations in this gene cause hereditary lymphedema type
