Facts about Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3.
Signaling by triggered FLT4 leads to improved production of VEGFC, and to a lesser degree VEGFA, thereby creating a positive feedback loop that enhances FLT4 signaling. The secreted isoform 3 may be a decoy receptor for VEGFC and/or VEGFD and play an essential part as a negative regulator of VEGFC-mediated lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis.
