VEGF Receptor 1 also known as FLT-1 is a protein that plays a critical role in the regulation of angiogenesis. Its mass is approximately 180 kDa. FLT-1 is a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed mainly on the surface of endothelial cells but also in monocytes and macrophages. The receptor binds vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental growth factor (PlGF) which initiates a series of signaling cascades important for vascular development and function.
Biological function summary
FLT-1 mediates important cellular responses such as cell migration and proliferation. Although it often functions in conjunction with other receptors like VEGFR-2 FLT-1 has unique binding affinities that modulate the availability of VEGF for other receptors. FLT-1 proteins as part of complex signaling networks actively contribute to maintaining vascular homeostasis and regulating blood vessel permeability.
Pathways
FLT-1 is an important component in the VEGF signaling pathway and also part of the PlGF/VEGF pathway. The receptor serves as a decoy to regulate the amount of VEGF interaction with VEGFR-2 influencing endothelial cell function and vascular permeability. By sequestering VEGF FLT-1 helps maintain the balance in this angiogenic signaling network interacting with proteins like VEGF PlGF and the anti-VEGF agents that target these pathways.
FLT-1 is implicated in cancer and diabetic retinopathy. Overexpression or dysregulation of FLT-1 can contribute to tumor angiogenesis which can enhance tumor growth and metastasis. In diabetic retinopathy abnormal FLT-1 activity affects retinal blood vessels leading to vision impairment. Similar interactions involve VEGFR-2 and other downstream effectors emphasizing the potential of FLT-1 as a therapeutic target for conditions associated with excessive angiogenesis and vascular dysfunction.
