Descriptions

The vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and their receptors (VEGFRs) play crucial roles in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. The unphosphorylated juxtamembrane region of VEGFR2 autoinhibits kinase activity by interacting with the activation loop in the kinase domain. Like other receptor tyrosine kinases, VEGFRs may have other autoinhibitory regions.

2 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
receptor complex Any protein complex that undergoes combination with a hormone, neurotransmitter, drug or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell function.

4 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
ATP binding Binding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
growth factor binding Binding to a growth factor, proteins or polypeptides that stimulate a cell or organism to grow or proliferate.
protein tyrosine kinase activity Catalysis of the reaction
vascular endothelial growth factor receptor activity Combining with a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor ligand and transmitting the signal across the plasma membrane to initiate a change in cell activity.

9 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
angiogenesis Blood vessel formation when new vessels emerge from the proliferation of pre-existing blood vessels.
artery morphogenesis The process in which the anatomical structures of arterial blood vessels are generated and organized. Arteries are blood vessels that transport blood from the heart to the body and its organs.
blood vessel development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a blood vessel over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The blood vessel is the vasculature carrying blood.
cell differentiation The cellular developmental process in which a relatively unspecialized cell, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cell, acquires specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize a specific cell. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state.
embryonic heart tube development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the embryonic heart tube over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The heart tube forms as the heart rudiment from the heart field.
lymphangiogenesis Lymph vessel formation when new vessels emerge from the proliferation of pre-existing vessels.
peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation The phosphorylation of peptidyl-tyrosine to form peptidyl-O4'-phospho-L-tyrosine.
sprouting angiogenesis The extension of new blood vessels from existing vessels into avascular tissues, this process includes the specialization of endothelial cells into leading tip and stalk cells, proliferation and migration of the endothelial cells and cell adhesion resulting in angiogenic sprout fusion or lumen formation.
thyroid gland development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the thyroid gland over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The thyroid gland is an endoderm-derived gland that produces thyroid hormone.
