A heat-shock protein axis regulates VEGFR2 proteolysis, blood vessel development and repair.

A heat-shock protein axis regulates VEGFR2 proteolysis, blood vessel development and repair.

Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) binds to the VEGFR2 receptor tyrosine kinase, regulating endothelial function, vascular physiology and angiogenesis. However, the mechanism underlying VEGFR2 turnover and degradation in this response is unclear. Here, we tested a role for heat-shock prot...
