Recombinant Human VEGFA protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: VEGFA-382H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human VEGFA protein (Ala27-Arg191), fused to His tag at N-terminus, was expressed in human 293 cells (HEK293).

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: HEK293
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 165
• Description: VEGF165 is the most abundant splice variant of VEGF-A. VEGF165 is produced by a number of cells including endothelial cells, macrophages and T cells. VEGF165 is involved in angiogenesis, vascular endothelial cell survival, growth, migration and vascular permeability. VEGF gene expression is induced by hypoxia, inflammatory cytokines and oncogenes. VEGF165 binds to heparan sulfate and is retained on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. VEGF165 binds to the receptor tyrosine kinases, VEGFR1 and VEGFR2. VEGF165 is the only splice variant that binds to co-receptors NRP-1 and NRP-2 that function to enhance VEGFR2 signaling. Binding of VEGF165 to VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 leads to activation of the PI3K/AKT, p38 MAPK, FAK and paxillin. VEGF plays a key role in tumor angiogenesis in many cancers.
• Form: Lyophilized from 0.22 um filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4, 10% trehalose.
• Molecular Mass: The protein has a calculated MW of 21.1 kDa. The protein migrates as 25-27 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
• Endotoxin: Less than 1.0 EU per ug by the LAL method.
• Purity: >90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Storage: For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20 centigrade or lower.
  Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  This product is stable after storage at:
  -20 centigrade to -70 centigrade for 12 months in lyophilized state;
  -70 centigrade for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 ug/ul. Centrifuge the vial at 4℃ before opening to recover the entire contents.
