VEGFC also known as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C is a member of the VEGF family involved in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. It has a molecular mass of approximately 35 kDa. VEGFC is expressed in various tissues with high levels in the heart lung and muscle. It acts primarily through its interaction with the VEGFR-3 receptor stimulating the formation of blood and lymphatic vessels. This protein plays an important role in the development and maintenance of the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
Biological function summary

VEGFC contributes to the regulation of vascular and lymphatic endothelial cell functions. It is not known to be part of a larger protein complex but exerts its functions through interactions with receptors such as VEGFR-3. By promoting cell proliferation and migration VEGFC assists in the repair and regeneration of tissues. Its role in fluid balance is essential as it helps maintain tissue equilibrium and immune function.

Pathways

VEGFC is integral to the VEGF signaling and lymphatic vessel development pathways. Within these processes VEGFC works alongside other proteins such as VEGFA and VEGFB to modulate vascular permeability and vessel formation. The interaction between VEGFC and the VEGFR-3 receptor specifically mediates lymphatic endothelial cell activation and function linking it to vital physiological processes like inflammation and tissue repair.

VEGFC is associated with cancer and lymphedema. Its role in promoting angiogenesis is critical in tumor growth and metastasis with its overexpression often linked to cancer progression. Furthermore insufficient VEGFC activity contributes to the development of lymphedema due to inadequate lymphatic drainage. In cancer pathology VEGFC works together with VEGFR-3 contributing to the abnormal growth of lymphatic vessels which in turn facilitates cancer cell dissemination.

General info

Function

Growth factor active in angiogenesis, and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration and also has effects on the permeability of blood vessels. May function in angiogenesis of the venous and lymphatic vascular systems during embryogenesis, and also in the maintenance of differentiated lymphatic endothelium in adults. Binds and activates KDR/VEGFR2 and FLT4/VEGFR3 receptors.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family.

Post-translational modifications

Undergoes a complex proteolytic maturation which generates a variety of processed secreted forms with increased activity toward VEGFR-3, but only the fully processed form could activate VEGFR-2. VEGF-C first form an antiparallel homodimer linked by disulfide bonds. Before secretion, a cleavage occurs between Arg-227 and Ser-228 producing a heterotetramer. The next extracellular step of the processing removes the N-terminal propeptide. Finally the mature VEGF-C is composed mostly of two VEGF homology domains (VHDs) bound by non-covalent interactions.
