vegfaa | Vascular endothelial growth factor A-A; Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. Induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis, and induces permeabilization of blood vessels. Acts both upstream of kdr and tie1 to stimulate endothelial cell differentiation, and upstream of gata1 to stimulate hematopoietic cell differentiation. (188 aa) | ||||
apela | Apelin receptor early endogenous ligand; Endogenous ligand for the apelin receptor (aplnra and/or aplnrb). Hormone required for mesendodermal differentiation, blood vessels formation and heart morphogenesis during early development and for adult cardiovascular homeostasis. Acts as a motogen by promoting mesendodermal cell migration during gastrulation by binding and activating the apelin receptor. Acts as an early embryonic regulator of cellular movement with a role in migration and development of cardiac progenitor cells. May act as a chemoattractant for the activation of angioblast m [...] (58 aa) |
