Recombinant Human VEGF-165 (Animal-Free)
Induced proliferation of HUVEC cells for Human VEGF-165 (Animal-Free). Cell proliferation was measured to calculate the ED50, which is as expected less than 10 ng/ml.
Non-reducing (-) and reducing (+) conditions in a 4 - 20% Tris-Glycine gel stained with Coomassie Blue. 1 μg of protein was loaded in each lane. Human VEGF-165 has a predicted Mw of 38.6 kDa.

This product is produced with no animal derived raw products. All processing and handling employs animal free equipment and animal free protocols.Description
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A) is produced by a wide variety of cell types, including tumor and vascular cells. VEGF-A is a mediator of vascular growth, vascular permeability, and plays a role in stimulating vasodilation via nitric oxide-dependent pathways. VEGF-A has several alternatively spliced isoforms, with VEGF-165 being the most abundant. The VEGF-165 isoform is a secreted protein that acts on receptors VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 to modulate endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis.Activity Assay
Human VEGF-165 (Animal-Free) is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by the proliferation of HUVEC cells and it is typically less than 10 ng/ml. This corresponds to an expected specific activity of 1 x 105 units/mg.AA Sequence
