VEGF human rec.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important signaling protein involved in both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. As its name implies, VEGF activity has been mostly studied on cells of the vascular endothelium, although it does have effects on a number of other cell types (e.g. stimulation monocyte & macrophage migration, neurons, cancer cells, kidney epithelial cells).
VEGF induces angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth, promotes cell migration, and inhibits apoptosis. In vitro, VEGF has been shown to stimulate endothelial cell mitogenesis and cell migration. VEGF is also a vasodilator and increases microvascular permeability and was originally referred to as vascular permeability factor.
VEGF human recombinant produced in E. coli is a double, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 165 amino acids having a molecular mass of 38231 D. The VEGF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms: VEGF-A, vascular permeability factor
