Description
Human Endocrine Gland Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor | 90122-A | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition
Category: Cytokine
Application: N/A
Background: This factor is identical with prokineticin-1 and is a member of the AVIT protein family. Expression of human EG-VEGF messenger RNA is restricted to the steroidogenic glands, ovary, testis, adrenal and placenta and is often complementary to the expression of VEGF. EG-VEGF has been identified as a mitogen specific for the endothelium of steroidogenic glands. EG-VEGF resembles VEGF in that it causes extensive angiogenesis and cyst formation when delivered in the ovary. EG-VEGF differs from VEGF in that it does not promote angiogenesis in the cornea or skeletal muscle. Two receptors (the G-protein-coupled receptor ZAQ and the G-protein-coupled receptor I5E) have been characterized, these receptors are expressed in gastrointestinal organs, endocrine glands and other tissues.
Description: Recombinant EG-VEGF is a disulfide-linked monomer protein consisting of 87 amino acid residues, and migrates as an approximately 10 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE. Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human EG-VEGF mature chain was expressed in E. coli.
