FLT4 or fms-related tyrosine kinase 4 is a tyrosine kinase receptor for vascular endothelial growth factors C and D and highly expressed in lymphangiogenesis and maintenance of the lymphatic endothelium. FLT4 is a marker for lymphatic vessels and some high endothelial venules in human adult tissues and also supported the theory of the venous origin of lymphatic vessels. FLT4 plays an essential role in the development of the embryonic cardiovascular system before the emergence of the lymphatic vessels.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key regulator of blood vessel development in embryos and angiogenesis in adult tissues. Unlike VEGF, the related VEGF-C stimulates the growth of lymphatic vessels through its specific lymphatic endothelial receptor VEGFR-3. Here it

We have recently cloned the human fms-like tyrosine kinase 4 gene FLT4, whose protein product is related to two vascular endothelial growth factor receptors FLT1 and KDR/FLK1. Here the expression of FLT4 has been analyzed by in situ hybridization during
