Related Product Information for anti-VEGFR-2 (CD309) antibody

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2), also known as CD309 antigen, the earliest known marker for vascular endothelia cells, is essential in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. Binding of the dimeric VEGF-A to the extracellular domains of two monomeric receptors induces dimerization and activation of tyrosine kinase at tyrosine residues Y951, Y1054 and Y1059 in the kinase domain serve as positive regulatory sites. Phosphorylation at Y951 of the kinase insert is related to the migration of endothelial cells for tumor vascularization and growth.

NCBI Description

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major growth factor for endothelial cells. This gene encodes one of the two receptors of the VEGF. This receptor, known as kinase insert domain receptor, is a type III receptor tyrosine kinase. It functions as the main mediator of VEGF-induced endothelial proliferation, survival, migration, tubular morphogenesis and sprouting. The signalling and trafficking of this receptor are regulated by multiple factors, including Rab GTPase, P2Y purine nucleotide receptor, integrin alphaVbeta3, T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase, etc.. Mutations of this gene are implicated in infantile capillary hemangiomas. [provided by RefSeq]

Uniprot Description

Function: Receptor for VEGF or VEGFC. Has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity. The VEGF-kinase ligand/receptor signaling system plays a key role in vascular development and regulation of vascular permeability. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions. Ref.6 Ref.12 Ref.15

Catalytic activity: ATP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine = ADP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine phosphate.

Subunit structure: Interacts with MYOF

By similarity. Interacts with SHB; upon VEGF activation. Interacts with HIV-1 Tat. Ref.7 Ref.8

Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Post-translational modification: Phosphorylated. Dephosphorylated by PTPRB. Dephosphorylated by PTPRJ at Tyr-951, Tyr-996, Tyr-1054, Tyr-1059, Tyr-1175 and Tyr-1214. Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12

Involvement in disease: Defects in KDR are associated with susceptibility to hemangioma capillary infantile (HCI) [

MIM:602089]. HCI are benign, highly proliferative lesions involving aberrant localized growth of capillary endothelium. They are the most common tumor of infancy, occurring in up to 10% of all births. Hemangiomas tend to appear shortly after birth and show rapid neonatal growth for up to 12 months characterized by endothelial hypercellularity and increased numbers of mast cells. This phase is followed by slow involution at a rate of about 10% per year and replacement by fibrofatty stroma. Ref.16 Ref.19

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. CSF-1/PDGF receptor subfamily.Contains 7 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
