Indicator Explainer
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A
Vascular endothelial growth factor A (232 aa, ~27 kDa) is encoded by the human VEGFA gene. This protein plays a role in both cell proliferation and angiogenesis.
This page explains what the indicator is and how results are interpreted in general terms. Reference ranges depend on the laboratory, the method, and your own situation — no single “normal value” applies to everyone. This page is health information, not a diagnosis. For symptoms, treatment, or urgent concerns, contact a healthcare professional.
