RTKs exist as inactive monomers; after binding to their ligands they form dimers and their intracellular domains are activated.

TAM express many pro-angiogenic and angiogenesis-modulating factors in vitro, such as VEGF, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, also known as FGF2), tumour necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin 1 (IL1), chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8 (CXCL8; also known as IL8), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2, also known as PTGS2), plasminogen activator, urokinase (uPA, also known as PLAU), platelet derived growth factor beta.

Mast cells produce heparin, interleukin-8 (IL-8) and vascular
endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF), which induce
neovascularization, histamine, which is an immunosuppressant,
mitogenic factors, such as platelet-derived
growth factor (PDGF), nerve GF (NGF), stem-cell factor
(SCF), and proteases, which disrupt the surrounding
matrix and facilitate metastases.
