Vegfa, VEGF164, Vegf

100ug (NPP1612) Please inquiry

Catalog Number	P80006-RNAB
Organism Species	Rat
Host	Baculovirus-Insect Cells
Synonyms	Vegfa, VEGF164, Vegf
Molecular Weight	The secreted recombinant rat VEGF164 consists of 164 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 19.2 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the rat VEGF164 is approximately 25 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
predicted N	Ala 27
SDS-PAGE
Purity	> 86 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction	A DNA sequence encoding the rat VEGF 164 isoform (AAA41211.1) (Met 1-Arg 190) was expressed.
Bio-activity	Measured in a cell proliferation assay using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The ED₅₀ for this effect is typically 1-10 ng/ml.
Research Area	Cardiovascular \|Angiogenesis \|Growth Factor & Receptor \|Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) & Receptor \|Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
Formulation	Lyophilized from sterile 100mM Glycine, 10mM NaCl, pH 7.0 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.
