Binding af VEGF- A til dets receptorer medfører endotelial celleproliferation og neovaskularisering samt vaskulær lækage, som alt sammen menes at bidrage til progressionen af den neovaskulære form af aldersrelateret maculadegeneration.
Binding of VEGF-A to its receptors leads to endothelial cell proliferation and neovascularisation, as well as vascular leakage, all of which are thought to contribute to the progression of the neovascular form of age-related macular degeneration.
