Human VEGF121 protein

Measured in a cell proliferation assay using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.5-2 ng/ml.

Baculovirus-Insect Cells

Lyophilized from sterile 100 mM Glycine, 10 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

Always centrifuge tubes before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Human VEGF121 protein in sterile ddH2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

The product is shipped at ambient temperature.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also known as vascular permeability factor (VPF) and VEGF-A, is a potent mediator of both angiogenesis and vasculogenesis in the fetus and adult. It is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family and often exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer. VEGF-A protein is a glycosylated mitogen that specifically acts on endothelial cells and has various effects, including mediating increased vascular permeability, inducing angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth, promoting cell migration, inhibiting apoptosis and tumor growth. VEGF-A protein is also a vasodilator that increases microvascular permeability, thus it was originally referred to as vascular permeability factor.
