Mouse Vascular Endothelial Cell Growth Factor B (VEGF-B) ELISA Kit | VEGF-B elisa kit
Mouse Vascular Endothelial Cell Growth Factor B (VEGF-B) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor B is a growth factor that belongs to the vascular endothelial growth factor family of which VEGF-A is the best known member. In contrast to VEGF-A, VEGF-B plays a less pronounced role in the vascular system: whereas VEGF-A is important for the formation of blood vessels, such as during development or in pathological conditions, VEGF-B seems only to play in role in the maintenance of newly formed blood vessels during pathological conditions. VEGF-B plays also an important role on several types of neurons. It is important for the protection of neurons in the retina and the cerebral cortex during stroke and of motoneurons during motor neuron diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.VEGF-B exerts its effects via the FLT1 receptor.

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.

Product Notes
The Mouse VEGF-B vegfb (Catalog #AAA9718173) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9718173 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse VEGF-B. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Vascular Endothelial Cell Growth Factor B (VEGF-B), ELISA Kit" 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
