Vegfc

Enables vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of blood vessel endothelial cell migration; positive regulation of protein autophosphorylation; and regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of neuroblast proliferation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Biomarker of colon adenocarcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast carcinoma and hereditary lymphedema ID. Orthologous to human VEGFC (vascular endothelial growth factor C).

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 Vegfc often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
