Active Recombinant Mouse Vegfa

• Cat.No.: Vegfa-530M
• Product Overview: Mouse VEGF 164 (164aa).

Specification

• Species: Mouse
• Source: Sf9 Cells
• Tag: Non
• Description: Mouse vascular endothelial growth factor 164 (VEGF 164) is produced as a homodimer. It binds to the FLT1/VEGFR1 and KDR/VEGFR2 receptors, heparan sulfate and heparin. It is a specific mitogen for vascular endothelial cells and a strong angiogenic factor in vivo. In addition to its action as a mitogen it is a potent vascular permeability factor (VPF) in vivo and is also a chemoattractant for monocytes and endothelial cells. It induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis and induces permeabilization of blood vessels. It may play a role in increasing vascular permeability during lactation, when increased transport of molecules from the blood is required for efficient milk protein synthesis.
• Form: Lyophilized.
• Bio-activity: The ED50 for stimulation of cell proliferation by human umbilical vein endothelial cells for VEGF 164 has been determined to be in the range of 1-5ng/ml.
• Molecular Mass: ~48kDa
• Purity: ≥95% (SDS-PAGE)
• Stability: Stable for at least 6 months after receipt when stored at -20°C.
• Storage: Short Term Storage: +4°C; Long Term Storage: -20°C. After reconstitution, prepare aliquots and store at -20°C. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. For long term storage we recommend to add at least 0.1% human or bovine serum albumin.
