Definition
Combining with a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor ligand and transmitting the signal across the plasma membrane to initiate a change in cell activity. Source: GOC:signaling, PMID:19909239, GOC:mah
Comment
Note that this term represents an activity and not a gene product, and should only be used when the receptor binds the ligand VEGF. For receptors that bind other growth factors, consider annotating to terms under 'transmembrane signaling receptor activity ; GO:0004888.
