Active Recombinant Human VEGF165

• Cat.No.: VEGFA-156H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human vascular endothelial growth factor A was expressed in modifiedhuman 293 cells.

Specification

• Cat. No.: VEGFA-156H
• Description: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a member of the cysteine-knot growth factor superfamily. Five VEGF splice variants exist including VEGF-121, VEGF-145, VEGF-165, VEGF-189; and VEGF-206. VEGF-165 is the most abundant and active isoform. VEGF-165 functions as a growth factor in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. VEGF-165 acts as a specific mitogen and survival factor for vascular endothelial cells, inducing microvascular permeability, cell migration and regulates the differentiation and survival of hematopoietic progenitor cells to affect hematopoiesis, immune function and tumour progression. VEGF-165 also plays roles in neurogenesis and blood brain barrier function.
• Source: human 293 cells.

• Molecular Mass: VEGF-165 migrates as a band between 15 and 25 kDa in SDS-PAGE. This compares with the predicted molecular mass of 19.2kDa.
• PI: Unmodified human VEGF-165 has a predicted pI of 7.6.
• Purity: >95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and visualized by silver stain.
• Formulation: When reconstituted in 0.5 ml sterile phosphate-buffered saline, the solution will contain 1% human serum albumin (HSA) and 10% trehalose.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that 0.5 ml of sterile phosphate-buffered saline be added to the vial.
• Storage: Lyophilized products should be stored at 2 to 8°C. Following reconstitution short-term storage at 4°C is recommended, and longer-term storage of aliquots at -18 to -20°C.
• Activity: The ED₅₀of VEGF-165 is typically 0.2 - 2.0 ng/ml as measured in a cell proliferation assay using human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVEC) cells.
