Snake venom vascular endothelial growth factor toxin vammin

UniProtKB accession:  P67863

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Snake venom VEGFs may contribute to venom dispersion and prey subjugation by inducing vascular permeability and hypotension. The hypotension is mediated by nitric oxide (NO), which is produced by VEGF-activated endothelium NO synthase (PubMed:14600159). Also induces angiogenesis in vitro, probably through VEGF receptor (KDR/VEGFR-2) signaling (PubMed:14600159). May also induce capillary permeability through VEGF receptor (KDR/VEGFR-2) signaling.
