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.
