Glossary Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2

regulates blood vessel formation by binding to VEGF

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 (VEGFR-2), also known as KDR, is a protein found on the surface of cells that plays a crucial role in the formation of blood vessels. It binds to VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor), triggering a series of signals that promote the growth and maintenance of the vascular system, which is essential for supplying nutrients and oxygen to tissues. This receptor is particularly important in processes like wound healing and the growth of new blood vessels in tumors.
