Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-1 D1-7 Human Recombinant ( FLT1 D7 Human )

Data sheet

Formulation

FLT1 D1-7 was lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml) sterile solution containing PBS Buffer, pH 7.4.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized FLT1 Fc/Chimera in PBS not less than 50ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Soluble FLT1 Human Recombinant fused with the Fc part of human IgG1 produced in baculovirus is disulfide-linked homodimeric, glycosylated, polypeptide containing 751 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 130 kDa. The soluble receptor protein contains

Protein Background

Endothelial cells express three different vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors, belonging to the family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). They are named VEGFR-1 (Flt-1), VEGFR-2 (KDR/Flk-1), and VEGFR-3 (Flt-4). Their expression is almos

Expression host

Insect Cells.

Synonyms

FLT-1, FLT1, Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor FLT, Flt-1, Tyrosine-protein kinase FRT, Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1, VEGFR-1.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized FLT-1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution FLT1 should be stored at 4C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a car

Biological Activity

The activity of FLT1/Fc was determined by its ability to inhibit the VEGF-dependent proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 10-30 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 33,333.33-100,000 units
