Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Synonym | Vascular endothelial growth factor A, VEGF-A, Vascular permeability factor, VPF, VEGF, MGC70609. |
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. |
Description | Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Human Recombinant expressed in HEK293 cells is a double, glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 165a.a. (27-191) and having a molecular weight of 40 kDa. The VEGF is purified by unique purification methods. |

Purity | >95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Bioactivity | Determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) using a concentration range of 4.0ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 2.5 x 105 Units/mg. |
Formulation | The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µM filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.2. |
Stability | Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Lyophilized Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor HEK293although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution VEGF HEK293should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
