Vegfb - vascular endothelial growth factor B

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; receptor ligand activity; and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 binding activity. Involved in angiogenesis and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Biomarker of retinal vein occlusion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myocardial infarction and pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human VEGFB (vascular endothelial growth factor B).
