Target Information
Feline vascular permeability factor, also known as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), is a significant protein in cats that primarily affects vascular permeability and is crucial in the context of diseases like Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). VEGF is produced by FIP virus-infected monocytes and macrophages, leading to increased vascular permeability and effusion in the body cavity, which is commonly associated with FIP. This protein plays a key role in the pathogenesis of FIP by enhancing the leakage of fluid into the abdominal and thoracic cavities, contributing to the clinical signs of the disease.
