Kinase insert domain receptor (KDR, a type IV receptor tyrosine kinase) also known asvascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) is aVEGF receptor.KDR is the humangene encoding it. KDR has also been designated asCD309 (cluster of differentiation 309). KDR is also known as Flk1 (Fetal Liver Kinase 1).
The Q472H germlineKDR genetic variant affects VEGFR-2 phosphorylation and has been found to associate with microvessel density inNSCLC.[5]
Kinase insert domain receptor has been shown tointeract withSHC2,[6]Annexin A5[7] andSHC1.[8][9]
