Description
Soluble VEGFR2 Fc Human Recombinant fused with the Fc part of human IgG1 produced in baculovirus is a disulfide-linked homodimeric, glycosylated, polypeptide containing 968 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 145 kDa. The soluble receptor protein contains only the first 7 extracellular domains, which contain all the information necessary for ligand binding.
Introduction
Endothelial cells express three different vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors, belonging to the family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). They are named VEGFR-1 (Flt-1), VEGFR-2 (KDR/Flk-1), VEGFR-3 (Flt-4). Their expression is almost exclusively restricted to endothelial cells, but VEGFR-1 can also be found on monocytes. All VEGF-receptors have seven immunoglobulin-like extracellular domains, a single transmembrane region and an intracellular split tyrosine kinase domain. VEGFR-2 has a lower affinity for VEGF than the Flt-1 receptor, but a higher signaling activity. Mitogenic activity in endothelial cells is mainly mediated by VEGFR-2 leading to their proliferation. Differential splicing of the flt-1 gene leads to the formation of a secreted, soluble variant of VEGFR-1 (sVEGFR-1). No naturally occuring, secreted forms of VEGFR-2 have so far been reported. The binding of VEGF165 to VEGFR-2 is dependent on heparin.
Purification Method
/
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
KDR fusion protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) sterile solution containing 1xPBS pH-7.2.
Stability
Lyophilized VEGFR-2 Fc/Chimera protein although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution FLK1 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
The activity of sVEGFR2/Fc was determined by its ability to inhibit the VEGF-dependent proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
