Term Information

Accession
GO:0038084
Name
vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathway
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
VEGF signaling, VEGF-activated signaling pathway, vascular endothelial growth factor signalling pathway
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The series of molecular signals initiated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) binding its receptor on the surface of the target cell, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. Source: GOC:signaling, PMID:17470632
Comment
In GO, a gene product with 'vascular endothelial growth factor-activated receptor activity ; GO:0005021' necessarily binds VEGF to transduce a signal. To represent cross-talk between ligands and receptors, signaling pathways in GO are starting to be named after the receptor and/or the signal. GO:0038084 is for annotation of any pathway in which the ligand VEGF binds and activates any cell surface receptor (VEGFR, PDGFR etc.). For annotation of signaling pathways where a VEGFR binds one of its physiological ligands (VEGF or an alternative growth factor), consider 'vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signaling pathway ; GO:0048010'.
