Organism Species | Human |
Host | Baculovirus-Insect Cells |
Synonyms | MVCD1,VEGF,VEGF165,VPF |
Molecular Weight | The recombinant human VEGF consists of 121 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 14 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the human VEGF 121 is approximately 17 and 19 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation. |
predicted N | Ala 27 |

Purity | (38.3+58.1) % as determined by SDS-PAGE |
Protein Construction | A DNA sequence encoding the human VEGF 121 isoform (P15692-9) (Met 1-Arg 147) was expressed. |
Bio-activity | Measured in a cell proliferation assay using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.5-2 ng/ml. |
Research Area | Cardiovascular |Angiogenesis |Growth Factor & Receptor |Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) & Receptor |Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) |
Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile 100 mM Glycine, 10 mM NaCl, pH 7.4. 1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose and mannitol are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA. |
Background | Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also known as vascular permeability factor (VPF) and VEGF-A, is a potent mediator of both angiogenesis and vasculogenesis in the fetus and adult. It is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family and often exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer. VEGF-A protein is a glycosylated mitogen that specifically acts on endothelial cells and has various effects, including mediating increased vascular permeability, inducing angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth, promoting cell migration, inhibiting apoptosis and tumor growth. VEGF-A protein is also a vasodilator that increases microvascular permeability, thus it was originally referred to as vascular permeability factor. |
