Recombinant Rat VEGF 165

- -
BackgroundVascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a potent proangiogenic cytokine1 is the key signal used by oxygen-hungry cells to promote growth of blood vessels. It binds to specialized receptors on the surfaces of endothelial cells and directs them to build new vessels.2 VEGF are crucial regulators of vascular development during embryogenesis (vasculogenesis) and blood-vessel formation in the adult (angiogenesis). Abnormal VEGF function is associated with inflammatory diseases including atherosclerosis, and hyperthyroidism.3,4,5,6 Protein DetailsPurity >97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC Endotoxin Level <0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method Protein Accession No. State of Matter Lyophilized Predicted Molecular Mass The molecular weight of Recombinant Rat VEGF 165 is Mr 38 kDa.
