VEGF Receptor 2 (CD309 antigen, Fetal liver kinase 1, FLK1, KDR, Kinase insert domain receptor, KRD1, Ly73, Protein tyrosine kinase receptor FLK1, Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, VEGFR, VEGFR2)
Description:
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2, KDR, Flk-1) is a major receptor transducing VEGF-induced signaling in endothelial cells. Upon ligand binding, VEGFR-2 undergoes autophosphorylation and becomes activated (1). Major autophosphorylation sites of VEGFR-2 are located in the kinase insert domain (Tyr951/996) and in the tyrosine kinase catalytic domain (Tyr1054/1059) (2). Activation of the receptor leads to rapid recruitment of adaptor proteins, including Shc, GRB2, PI-3 kinase, Nck and the protein tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2 (3). The phosphorylation of Tyr1212 provides a docking site for GRB2 binding, and phospho-Tyr1175 binds with the p85 subunit of PI-3 kinase and PLCg, as well as Shb (5, 6). The signaling of VEGFR-2 is necessary for the execution of VEGF-stimulated proliferation, chemotaxis and sprouting, as well as survival of cultured endothelial cells in vitro and angiogenesis in vivo (4).
