Recombinant Human Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-1 D3, His

• Cat.No.: VEGFR1-77H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human VEGFR-1 D1-3 produced in E.Coli is monomeric, glycosylated, polypeptide containing 298 amino acids fragment (31-328) and having a molecular mass of 43 kDa. The receptor protein contains only the first 3 extracellular domains, which contain all the information necessary for binding of VEGF. The VEGFR1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Insect Cells
• Tag: His
• Description: Endothelial cells express three different vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors, belonging to the family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). They are named VEGFR-1 (Flt-1), VEGFR-2 (KDR/Flk-1), VEGFR-3 (Flt-4). Their expression is almost exclusively restricted to endothelial cells, but VEGFR-1 can also be found on monocytes, dendritic cells and on trophoblast cells. The flt-1 gene was first described in 1990. The receptor contains seven immunoglobulin-like extracellular domains, a single transmembrane region and an intracellular splited tyrosine kinase domain. Compared to VEGFR-2 the Flt-1 receptor has a higher affinity for VEGF but a weaker signaling activity. VEGFR-1 thus leads not to proliferation of endothelial cells, but mediates signals for differentiation. Interestingly a naturally occuring soluble variant of VEGFR-1 (sVEGFR-1) was found in HUVE supernatants in 1996, which is generated by alternative splicing of the flt-1 mRNA. The biological functions of sVEGFR-1 still are not clear, but it seems to be an endogenous regulator of angiogenesis, binding VEGF with the same affinity as the full-length receptor.
