VEGFA

VEGFA (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A): Much like MMP15's involvement in tissue remodeling and angiogenesis, VEGFA holds a central role in regulating blood vessel formation and vascular function. As a key member of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family, VEGFA stimulates the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, promoting the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) crucial for various physiological processes including wound healing, embryonic development, and tissue repair. The precise regulation of VEGFA expression and activity is essential for maintaining vascular integrity and homeostasis. Dysregulation of VEGFA signaling has been implicated in numerous pathological conditions, including cancer progression,...
