- Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) IRES A
This family represents the
vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)internal ribosome entry site (IRES) A. VEGF is anendothelial cell mitogen with many crucial functions such as embryogenic development and wound healing. The 5' UTR of VEGF mRNA contains two IRES elements which are able to promote efficient translation at the AUG startcodon , this family represents IRES A.
