[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/VGFR2_HUMAN VGFR2_HUMAN]] Defects in KDR are associated with susceptibility to hemangioma capillary infantile (HCI) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/602089 602089]]. HCI are benign, highly proliferative lesions involving aberrant localized growth of capillary endothelium. They are the most common tumor of infancy, occurring in up to 10% of all births. Hemangiomas tend to appear shortly after birth and show rapid neonatal growth for up to 12 months characterized by endothelial hypercellularity and increased numbers of mast cells. This phase is followed by slow involution at a rate of about 10% per year and replacement by fibrofatty stroma.<ref>PMID:11807987</ref> <ref>PMID:18931684</ref>   Note=Plays a major role in tumor angiogenesis. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions. 
== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/VGFR2_HUMAN VGFR2_HUMAN]] Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as a cell-surface receptor for VEGFA, VEGFC and VEGFD. Plays an essential role in the regulation of angiogenesis, vascular development, vascular permeability, and embryonic hematopoiesis. Promotes proliferation, survival, migration and differentiation of endothelial cells. Promotes reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Isoforms lacking a transmembrane domain, such as isoform 2 and isoform 3, may function as decoy receptors for VEGFA, VEGFC and/or VEGFD. Isoform 2 plays an important role as negative regulator of VEGFA- and VEGFC-mediated lymphangiogenesis by limiting the amount of free VEGFA and/or VEGFC and preventing their binding to FLT4. Modulates FLT1 and FLT4 signaling by forming heterodimers. Binding of vascular growth factors to isoform 1 leads to the activation of several signaling cascades. Activation of PLCG1 leads to the production of the cellular signaling molecules diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and the activation of protein kinase C. Mediates activation of MAPK1/ERK2, MAPK3/ERK1 and the MAP kinase signaling pathway, as well as of the AKT1 signaling pathway. Mediates phosphorylation of PIK3R1, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and activation of PTK2/FAK1. Required for VEGFA-mediated induction of NOS2 and NOS3, leading to the production of the signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO) by endothelial cells. Phosphorylates PLCG1. Promotes phosphorylation of FYN, NCK1, NOS3, PIK3R1, PTK2/FAK1 and SRC.<ref>PMID:19668192</ref> <ref>PMID:1417831</ref> <ref>PMID:7929439</ref> <ref>PMID:9160888</ref> <ref>PMID:9837777</ref> <ref>PMID:9804796</ref> <ref>PMID:10600473</ref> <ref>PMID:10102632</ref> <ref>PMID:11387210</ref> <ref>PMID:12649282</ref> <ref>PMID:15026417</ref> <ref>PMID:15215251</ref> <ref>PMID:15962004</ref> <ref>PMID:16966330</ref> <ref>PMID:17303569</ref> <ref>PMID:19834490</ref> <ref>PMID:20179233</ref> <ref>PMID:20224550</ref> <ref>PMID:20705758</ref> <ref>PMID:10368301</ref> <ref>PMID:18529047</ref> <ref>PMID:20080685</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
To develop RAF/VEGFR2 inhibitors that bind to the inactive DFG-out conformation, we conducted structure-based drug design using the X-ray cocrystal structures of BRAF, starting from an imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine derivative. We designed various [5,6]-fused bicyclic scaffolds (ring A, 1-6) possessing an anilide group that forms two hydrogen bond interactions with Cys532. Stabilizing the planarity of this anilide and the nitrogen atom on the six-membered ring of the scaffold was critical for enhancing BRAF inhibition. The selected [1,3]thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine derivative 6d showed potent inhibitory activity in both BRAF and VEGFR2. Solid dispersion formulation of 6d (6d-SD) maximized its oral absorption in rats and showed significant suppression of ERK1/2 phosphorylation in an A375 melanoma xenograft model in rats by single administration. Tumor regression (T/C = -7.0%) in twice-daily repetitive studies at a dose of 50 mg/kg in rats confirmed that 6d is a promising RAF/VEGFR2 inhibitor showing potent anticancer activity.
