Background
PlGF (placenta growth factor), also named as PGF, is an angiogenic factor which belongs to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family. PlGF was originally identified in the placenta, where it regulates growth and differentiation of trophoblasts. It is also expressed in umbilical vein endothelial cells and other non-placental tissues, like the thyroid gland and developing lung tissue. PlGF has angiogenic properties, enhancing survival, growth and migration of endothelial cells in vitro, and promotes vessel formation in certain in-vivo models.
