VEGFC Human, Sf9

Source: Sf9, Baculovirus cells.Sterile filtered colorless solution.VEGF-C, also known as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Related Protein (VRP), is a recently discovered VEGF growth factor family member that is most closely related to VEGF-D. Human VEGF-C cDNA encodes a pre-pro-protein of 416 amino acids residues. It is almost identical to the mouse VEGF-C protein. Similar to VEGF-D, VEGF-C has a VEGF homology domain spanning the middle third of the precursor molecule and long N- and C-terminal extensions. In adults, VEGF-C is highly expressed in heart, placenta, ovary and small intestine. Recombinant human VEGF-C, lacking the N- and C-terminal extensions and containing only the middle VEGF homology domain, forms primarily non-covalently linked dimers. This protein is a ligand for both VEGFR-2/KDR and VEGFR-3/FLT-4. Since VEGFR-3 is strongly expressed in lymphatic endothelial cells, it has been postulated that VEGF-C is involved in the regulation of the growth and/or differentiation of lymphatic endothelium. Although recombinant human VEGF-C is also a mitogen for vascular endothelial cells, it is much less potent than VEGF-A.VEGFC Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 125 amino acids (112-227a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 14.2kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 18-28kDa) . VEGFC is expressed with a 6 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
