Abstract
Vascular endothelial cell growth factor binds with high affinity to FLT and KDR, two homologous tyrosine kinase receptors expressed on vascular endothelial cells. Placental growth factor, a vascular endothelial cell growth factor homologue, also binds with high affinity to the extracellular domains of FLT but not to the extracellular region of KDR. Vascular endothelial cell growth factor binds competitively with placental growth factor to the extracellular ligand binding domains of FLT, indicating that both ligands probably complex to overlapping or identical regions of this receptor.
