Recombinant Rat Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: Vegfc-5345R
• Product Overview: Recombinantrat Vegfc contains129 amino acids and is fused to a His-tag (6x His) at theC-terminal end. As a result of glycosylation, Vegfc migratesas an 18-24 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE under reducingconditions.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Insect Cells
• Tag: His
• Description: Theprotein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growthfactor/vascular endothelial growth factor family, is active in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesisand endothelial cell growth and survival, and can also affect thepermeability of blood vessels. This secreted protein undergoes a complexproteolytic maturation, generating multiple processed forms that bind andactivate VEGFR-3 receptors. Only the fully processed form can bind andactivate VEGFR-2 receptors. The structure and function of this protein issimilar to those of vascular endothelial growth factor D.
• Molecular Weight: 18-24 kDa
• Endotoxin Level: < 0.1 ng/μgof the protein.
• Form: Lyophilized from asterile filtered solution containing BSA.
• Purity: > 90% bySDS-PAGE and visualized by silver stain.
• Biological Activity: Measuredby its ability to stimulate phosphorylation of the VEGFR-3/FLT-4 receptor in pigaortic endothelial cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 200-300ng/ml.
• Reconstitution: Centrifugevial prior to opening. The lyophilized Vegfc issoluble in water and most aqueous buffers. The lyophilized Vegfc shouldbe reconstituted in PBS or medium to a concentrationnot lower than 50 μg/ml.
• Storage: Lyophilizedsamples are stable for greater than six months at -20°C to -80°C. ReconstitutedVegfc shouldbe stored in working aliquots at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thawcycles.
