Summary
Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cardiac muscle contraction; coronary vasculature development; and protein O-linked glycosylation. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and musculoskeletal system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myocardial infarction and pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human VEGFB (vascular endothelial growth factor B).

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.

    See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001172093.1

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate splice site in the 3' coding region, compared to variant 1. This difference results in a frameshift and an isoform (Vegf-b167) with a shorter and distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform Vegf-b186.
