Mus musculus PHENOTYPE: Targeted inactivation of this gene causes no apparent phenotype. Hemizygous males carrying the HygTk gene of a null allele are sterile, likely due to aberrant expression of the Tk gene in the testis; phenotypic correction is obtained with a second null allele that does not contain the Tk gene.

Mus musculus PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation show no obvious morbidity, premature mortality, or anatomical defects. However, males exhibit sterility and testis abnormalities probably because homologous recombination results in co-insertion of the 5' part of the HSV-TK cassette into the targeted locus.

Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) family. VEGFR family members are receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) which contain an extracellular ligand-binding region with seven immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains, a transmembrane segment, and a tyrosine kinase (TK) domain within the cytoplasmic domain. This protein binds to VEGFR-A, VEGFR-B and placental growth factor and plays an important role in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Expression of this receptor is found in vascular endothelial cells, placental trophoblast cells and peripheral blood monocytes. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Isoforms include a full-length transmembrane receptor isoform and shortened, soluble isoforms. The soluble isoforms are associated with the onset of pre-eclampsia.[provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
