| Description | Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (aa 207-371) containing a total of 185 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 21.3 kDa (corresponding to Isoform L-VEGF165 UniProt acc#P15692-11). The VEGF is fused to a 20 a.a His-tag at N-terminus and is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background | Vascular endothelial growth factor is an important signaling protein involved in both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. As its name implies, VEGF activity has been mostly studied on cells of the vascular endothelium, although it does have effects on a number of other cell types (e.g. stimulation monocyte/ macrophagemigration, neurons, cancer cells, kidney epithelial cells ).VEGF mediates increased vascular permeability, induces angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth, promotes cell migration, and inhibits apoptosis. In vitro, VEGF has been shown to stimulate endothelial cell mitogenesisand cell migration. VEGF is also a vasodilator and increases microvascular permeability and was originally referred to as vascular permeability factor.Elevated levels of this protein are linked to POEMS syndrome, also known as Crow-Fukase syndrome. Mutations in this gene have been associated with proliferative and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms | Vascular endothelial growth factor A, VEGF-A, Vascular permeability factor, VPF, VEGF, MGC70609. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered clear solution. |
| Stability | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks.Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
