Summary
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 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).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
