A widely accepted mechanism for the role of NRP1 in the endothelium is VEGF binding to NRP1 and VEGFR2 (VEGF receptor 2) and VEGF-dependent formation of complexes or NRP1–VEGFR2 holoreceptors with enhanced signalling activity...

Tie1 undergoes regulated ectodomain cleavage which is stimulated by a range of factors including VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), inflammatory cytokines and changes...
