These include chemorepellent proteins for axons like semaphorin 3A (SEMA3A)3 as well as regulators of vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, and vascular remodeling, like members of the VEGF ligand family, for example, placental‐like growth factor (PLGF) and the VEGF165 isoform of vascular endothelial growth factor A.4 However, despite its important role in development, NRP1 also plays an important role in pathological conditions like cancer5, 6 or nephropathies.7 Here, VEGFA is linked to kidney disorder.
