Related Product Information for VEGF-B elisa kit
Principle of the Assay: VEGF-B ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-VEGF-B antibody and an VEGF-B-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with VEGF-B-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the VEGF-B concentration since VEGF-B from samples and VEGF-B-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-VEGF-B antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by VEGF-B from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind VEGF-B-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The VEGF-B concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
Product Categories/Family for VEGF-B elisa kit
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.

AAA738436) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA738436 ELISA Kit recognizes Bovine VEGF-B.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"Vascular Endothelial cell Growth Factor 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.
