Aflibercept (VEGF-Trap) is an engineered soluble receptor made from the extracellular domains of VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 and binds to all isoforms of VEGF and to placental growth factor.
Two related receptors facilitate VEGF signalling: VEGFR1 (Flt-1) which is thought to act as a decoy receptor and VEGFR2 (KDR) which mediates the pro-angiogenic signal.
For example, Sirna is investigating the regulation of angiogenesis in AMD by targeting multiple VEGF receptors -- VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 -- using a single siRNA molecule.
