Endocrine Gland Derived Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (EG-VEGF) Active Protein | EG-VEGF active protein
Active Endocrine Gland Derived Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (EG-VEGF)
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
Activity Data
(Figure 1. Cell proliferation of ECV-304 cells after stimulated with EG-VEGF.Endothelial gland-derived VEGF (EG-VEGF) is an angiogenic protein that is structurally unrelated to VEGF. It is expressed in steroidogenic tissues such as adrenal gland, ovary, testis, and placenta. Like VEGF it can induce fenestrae in endothelial cells. To test the effect of EG-VEGF on cell proliferation of ECV-304 endothelium cell line, cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates at a density of 5,000 cells/well and allowed to attach overnight, then the medium was replaced with serum-free standard DMEM prior to the addition of various concentrations of EG-VEGF. After incubated for 72h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, 10uL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, then measure the absorbance at 450nm using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 1-4 hours at 37 degree C.(A) Unstimulated ECV-304 cells cultured in 1640 for 96h;(B) ECV-304 cells cultured in 1640, stimulated with 10ng/mL VEGF121 for 96h.)

Accurate MW: 44kDa
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene induces proliferation, migration, and fenestration (the formation of membrane discontinuities) in capillary endothelial cells derived from endocrine glands. It has little or no effect on a variety of other endothelial and non-endothelial cell types. Its expression is restricted to the steroidogenic glands (ovary, testis, adrenal, and placenta), is induced by hypoxia, and often complementary to the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), suggesting that these molecules function in a coordinated manner.

Uniprot Description
PROK1: Potently contracts gastrointestinal (GI) smooth muscle. Induces proliferation, migration and fenestration (the formation of membrane discontinuities) in capillary endothelial cells derived from endocrine glands. Has little or no effect on a variety of other endothelial and non-endothelial cell types. Induces proliferation and differentiation, but not migration, of enteric neural crest cells. Directly influences neuroblastoma progression by promoting the proliferation and migration of neuroblastoma cells. Positively regulates PTGS2 expression and prostaglandin synthesis. May play a role in placentation. May play a role in normal and pathological testis angiogenesis. Belongs to the AVIT (prokineticin) family.

Product Notes
The EG-VEGF prok1 (Catalog #AAA2105050) is an Active Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is Met1~Phe105. AAA Biotech's Endocrine Gland Derived Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (EG-VEGF) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Cell Culture, Activity Assays. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the EG-VEGF prok1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Endocrine Gland Derived Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (EG-VEGF), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
