In contrast to work in endothelial cells where Src preferentially associates with VEGFR-2 and Yes and Fyn with VEGFR-1, we observed Src and Yes kinase complex formation with VEGFR-1 upon VEGF stimulation, suggesting that at least in these tumour cells, association of SFKs with VEGFR-1 may be more promiscuous than in normal endothelial cells. Here, YES1 is linked to neoplasm.
