Summary: Enables vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; positive regulation of lymphangiogenesis; and positive regulation of mesenchymal stem cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; morphogenesis of embryonic epithelium; and positive regulation of glial cell proliferation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system mesentery; brain; cardiovascular system; embryo mesenchyme; and genitourinary system. Used to study hereditary lymphedema. 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.
