Recombinant Human Kinase Insert Domain Receptor, GST-tagged, Active

• Cat.No.: KDR-340H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human KDR (789-end) was expressed by baculovirus inSf9 insect cellsusing an N-terminal GST tag. MW = 110 kDa.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Sf9 Cells
• Tag: GST
• Protein Length: 789-end a.a.
• Description: KDR (or kinase insert domain receptor) is a growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase that was originally isolated from human endothelial cells where it plays a pivotal role in endothelial cell proliferation and differentiation. KDR and its mouse homolog Flk1 bind VEGF with high affinity and are implicated in the development of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). The expression levels of VEGF and KDR are highly correlated during the normal development of the ocular vasculature in humans (1). Induction of angiogenesis is a critical step in tumor progression, and inhibitors of KDR have been demonstrated both to induce tumor regression and reduce metastatic potential in preclinical models.
• Sequence: 789-end.
• Applications: Kinase Assay, Western Blot.
• Storage And Stability: Store product at -70°C. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
