Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP01272
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 6568
Name Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2
Synonyms
  1. CD309 antigen
  2. FLK-1
  3. Fetal liver kinase 1
  4. Kinase insert domain receptor
  5. Protein-tyrosine kinase receptor flk-1
  6. VEGFR-2
Gene Name KDR
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in protein kinase activity
Specific Function Receptor for VEGF or VEGFC. Has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity. The VEGF-kinase ligand/receptor signaling system plays a key role in vascular development and regulation of vascular permeability. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions
