Pgf

Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of angiogenesis; positive regulation of endothelial cell proliferation; and sprouting angiogenesis. Located in extracellular space. Used to study congestive heart failure and myocardial infarction. Biomarker of diabetic retinopathy; end stage renal disease; pre-eclampsia; and status epilepticus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including brain ischemia; diabetic neuropathy; glioblastoma; myocardial infarction; and pancreatic endocrine carcinoma. Orthologous to human PGF (placental growth factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Pgf often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
