Source: E.coli

Tag Info: N-terminal 6xHis-tagged

Expression Region: 27-214aa

Sequence Info: Full Length of Mature Protein

MW: 26.1 kDa

Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Relevance: Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. Induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis and induces permeabilization of blood vessels. Binds to the FLT1/VEGFR1 and KDR/VEGFR2 receptors, heparan sulfate and heparin. May play a role in increasing vascular permeability during lactation, when increased transport of molecules from the blood is required for efficient milk protein synthesis.

Reference: Amino acid and cDNA sequences of a vascular endothelial cell mitogen that is homologous to platelet-derived growth factor.Conn G., Bayne M.L., Soderman D.D., Kwok P.W., Sullivan K.A., Palisi T.M., Hope D.A., Thomas K.A.Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87:2628-2633(1990)

Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20?/-80?. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20?/-80?.

Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4? for up to one week.

Function: Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. Induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis and induces permeabilization of blood vessels. Binds to the FLT1/VEGFR1 and KDR/VEGFR2 receptors, heparan sulfate and heparin. May play a role in increasing vascular permeability during lactation, when increased transport of molecules from the blood is required for efficient milk protein synthesis. Binding to NRP1 receptor initiates a signaling pathway needed for motor neuron axon guidance and cell body migration, including for the caudal migration of facial motor neurons from rhombomere 4 to rhombomere 6 during embryonic development (By similarity).

Involvement in disease:

Subcellular Location: Secreted

Protein Families: PDGF/VEGF growth factor family

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in the pituitary, in brain, in particularly in supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei and the choroid plexus. Also found abundantly in the corpus luteum of the ovary and in kidney glomeruli. Expressed in the ductal epithelial cells of post-pubertal mammary glands. Expressed in the ductal and alveolar epithelial cells throughout the whole period of gestational evolution, lactation and involution.

Paythway:

Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder

Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20?/-80?. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
