Summary: Enables vascular endothelial growth factor receptor activity. Involved in lymphangiogenesis; regulation of blood vessel remodeling; and sprouting angiogenesis. Acts upstream of or within lung alveolus development; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and respiratory system process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. Used to study hereditary lymphedema. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary lymphedema IA. Orthologous to human FLT4 (fms related receptor tyrosine kinase 4).

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.
