Kinase insert domain receptor
open-in-new
<p>Kinase insert domain receptor (KDR, a type IV receptor tyrosine kinase) also known as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) is a <a href="/facts/VEGF_receptor/FKA44l8U">VEGF receptor</a>. <i>KDR</i> is the human <a href="/facts/Gene/e1swwPY6">gene</a> encoding it. KDR has also been designated as CD309 (<a href="/facts/Cluster_of_differentiation/cLEuDQId">cluster of differentiation</a> 309). KDR is also known as Flk1 (Fetal Liver Kinase 1). </p><p>The Q472H germline <i>KDR</i> genetic variant affects VEGFR-2 phosphorylation and has been found to associate with microvessel density in <a href="/facts/Non-small-cell_lung_carcinoma/9T47knRp">NSCLC</a>. </p>
