FLT4

Template:Short description Template:Cs1 config An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox Fms-related tyrosine kinase 4, also known as FLT4, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the FLT4 gene.

This gene encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor for vascular endothelial growth factors C and D. The protein is thought to be involved in lymphangiogenesis and maintenance of the lymphatic endothelium. Mutations in this gene cause hereditary lymphedema type IA.

Interactions

FLT4 has been shown to interact with SHC1.
