Also known as: PIGF; Plgf
Summary: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; receptor ligand activity; and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including branching involved in ureteric bud morphogenesis; glycogen metabolic process; and placenta development. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; gut gland; musculature; reproductive system; and urinary system. 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, Dec 2024]

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.
