Subcellular location [CC]Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11563986, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11731620, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15896327}. Note=VEGF121 is acidic and freely secreted. VEGF165 is more basic, has heparin-binding properties and, although a significant proportion remains cell-associated, most is freely secreted. VEGF189 is very basic, it is cell-associated after secretion and is bound avidly by heparin and the extracellular matrix, although it may be released as a soluble form by heparin, heparinase or plasmin.
