UniProt ID P49763
Protein name Placenta growth factor (PlGF)
Protein function Growth factor active in angiogenesis and 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. A

Accession ID Position in sequence Description Type
PF00341 PDGF 52 130 PDGF/VEGF domain Domain
Tissue specificity TISSUE SPECIFICITY: While the three isoforms are present in most placental tissues, PlGF-2 is specific to early (8 week) placenta and only PlGF-1 is found in the colon and mammary carcinomas.
