Although the significance of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors in angiogenesis is well established, the signal transduction cascades activated by VEGF and their involvement in mediating the mitogenic response of endothelial cells to VEGF are incompletely characterized. Here
Rapid activation of intracellular signaling cascades is induced in cardiac myocytes in response to various external stresses. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic mitogen secreted from tumor cells and cells exposed to hypoxia such as ischemic myocardial cells. To clarify
