The splice forms of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) differ in biological properties such as the receptor types that they recognize and their interaction with heparan sulfate proteoglycans. We have identified a new VEGF mRNA splice form encoding a VEGF species containing 162 amino acids (VEGF(162)) in human A431 ovarian carcinoma cells. This novel mRNA contains the peptides encoded by ...
