VEGFD recombinant protein

VEGFD protein

Cat. Num. AAA5304632

• Gene Names: FIGF; VEGFD; VEGF-D
• Purity: VEGFD protein was purified using a a proprietary chromatographic technique.
• Synonyms: VEGFD; VEGFD protein; Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-D protein; FIGF protein; VEGF-D protein; VEGFD recombinant protein

• Host: Human
• Purity/Purification: VEGFD protein was purified using a a proprietary chromatographic technique.
• Form/Format: Supplied in lyophilized form with no additives
• Sequence Length: 354

• Protein Type: Recombinant
• Biological Significance: VEGF-D is most closely related to VEGF-C by virtue of the presence of N-and C-terminal extensions that are not found in other VEGF family members. In adult human tissues, VEGF-D mRNA is most abundant in heart, lung, skeletal muscle, colon, and small intestine. Analyses of VEGF-D receptor specificity revealed that VEGF-D is a ligand for both VEGF receptors VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 and can activate these receptors. However, VEGF-D does not bind to VEGFR-1. Expression of a truncated derivative of VEGF-D demonstrated that the receptor-binding capacities reside in the portion of the molecule that is most closely related in primary structure to other VEGF family members and that corresponds to the mature form of VEGF-C. In addition, VEGF-D is a mitogen for endothelial cells.
• Endotoxin Levels: <0.1 ng/ug
• Expression System: E Coli
• Preparation and Storage: Store at 4 degree C for short term storage. Aliquot and store at -20 degree C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (PDGF/VEGF) family and is active in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and endothelial cell growth. This secreted protein undergoes a complex proteolytic maturation, generating multiple processed forms which bind and activate VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 receptors. This protein is structurally and functionally similar to vascular endothelial growth factor C. Read-through transcription has been observed between this locus and the upstream PIR (GeneID 8544) locus. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Uniprot Description

VEGFD: Growth factor active in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration and also has effects on the permeability of blood vessels. May function in the formation of the venous and lymphatic vascular systems during embryogenesis, and also in the maintenance of differentiated lymphatic endothelium in adults. Binds and activates VEGFR-2 (KDR/FLK1) and VEGFR-3 (FLT4) receptors. Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family.
