Mouse anti-Human Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor B Monoclonal Antibody | anti-VEGFB antibody
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor B (VEGFB, VEGF-B, VEGF-related Factor, VRF, VEGFL) (PE)
Western Blot (WB)
(Western Blot analysis of VEGFB expression in transfected 293T cell line by VEGFB polyclonal antibody. Lane 1: VEGFB transfected lysate (21.6kD). Lane 2: Non-transfected lysate.)
Testing Data
(Proximity Ligation Analysis (PLA) of protein-protein interactions between VEGFB and VEGFA. HeLa cells were stained with VEGFB rabbit purified polyclonal 1:1200 and VEGFA mouse monoclonal antibody 1:50. Signals were detected by 30 Detection Kit 613 (red), and nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Each red dot represents the detection of protein-protein interaction complex.)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor)/VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) family. The VEGF family members regulate the formation of blood vessels and are involved in endothelial cell physiology. This member is a ligand for VEGFR-1 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1) and NRP-1 (neuropilin-1). Studies in mice showed that this gene was co-expressed with nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes and the encoded protein specifically controlled endothelial uptake of fatty acids. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
Uniprot Description
VEGFB: Growth factor for endothelial cells. VEGF-B167 binds heparin and neuropilin-1 whereas the binding to neuropilin-1 of VEGF-B186 is regulated by proteolysis. Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Can also form heterodimer with VEGF. Expressed in all tissues except liver. Highest levels found in heart, skeletal muscle and pancreas. Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
