This is one target of the anticancer research. Discovered members of family include: -A, -B, -, -D, -E and placenta growth factor (PLGF). Receptors of are R-1(flt-1), R-2(flk-1/KDR), R-3(flt-4) and neuropilin(npr1/npr2). Members of this family can selectively promote mitosis of vascular endotheial cells or lymphatic endothelial cells, stimulate endothelial cells to proliferate and induce angiogenesis. They also enhance the permeability of microvessels, help to establish capillary vessels net. This article mainly reviewed the structures, functional characteristics, relationship between and its inhibitors and tumor angiogenesis. Key words: vascular endothelial growth factor; vascular endothelial growth factors receptors; angiogenesis (1978 ) (1972 ) 1973 (1957 )
