Placental Growth Factor Receptor 1 (VEGFR-1)

Target
VEGFR-1
Molecular classification
Receptor, Tyrosine kinase receptor
01

Overview

Placental growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR-1 or Flt-1) is a tyrosine kinase cell-surface receptor that binds VEGF family members like PlGF, VEGFA, and VEGFB. It plays a crucial role in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, and inflammation, particularly under pathological conditions. It's a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for various diseases including cancer and preeclampsia.
