Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables identical protein binding activity and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including blood vessel morphogenesis; embryonic morphogenesis; and hyaloid vascular plexus regression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including angiogenesis; positive regulation of hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; and post-embryonic camera-type eye morphogenesis. Located in extracellular space and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Kuhnt-Junius degeneration; bronchopulmonary dysplasia; diabetic retinopathy; and pre-eclampsia. Orthologous to human FLT1 (fms related receptor tyrosine kinase 1).
