摘要: Angiogenesis, or development of blood vessels from preexisting vasculature, has important functions under both normal and pathophysiological conditions. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3, also known as flt-1, KDR, flt-4, are cell-specific receptor tyrosine kinases which serve key mediators the angiogenic responses. The review focuses on signaling pathways that initiated these recently identified VEGF coreceptor neuroplilin-1.
