Thanks PB.

I was aware of VEGF-B and VEGF-C (only patent on VEGF-B). So, picture may be bit more complicated than we think.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

It looks like similar story on Angio-1,-2 and -3, where overlaping and cross-interaction (combination of positive and negative regulation) complicate things. Ar least, it appears that all VEGFs bind to the same receptors with bit different affinity.

BTW, I do not see that VEGF-2 (from HGSI) may be better than other VEGF forms.
