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
Rat VEGF-165 is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by the proliferation of HUVEC cells and it is typically less than 8 ng/ml. This corresponds to an expected specific activity of 1.3 x 105 units/mg.AA Sequence
