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.

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.
