Catalogue number
CYT-338
Synonyms
PK1, PRK1, Prokineticin 1, EG-VEGF.
Introduction
Endocrine gland-derived vascular endothelial growth factor induces proliferation, migration, and fenestration in capillary endothelial cells derived from endocrine glands. Its expression is induced by hypoxia and is restricted to the steroidogenic glands . Its expression is often complementary to the expression of VEGF , suggesting that these molecules function in a coordinated manner. EG-VEGF potently contracts gastrointestinal smooth muscle. Induces proliferation, migration and fenestration in capillary endothelial cells derived from endocrine glands. Has little or no effect on a variety of other endothelial and non-endothelial cell types.
Description
EG-VEGF Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 86 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 9.7kDa. The EG-VEGF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.
Formulation
The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated solution containing 0.1% Trifluoroacetic Acid .
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Endocrine Gland Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized EG-VEGF Human Recombinant although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution EG-VEGF should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by -PAGE.
Biological Activity
The activity as determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of MIA PaCa-2 cells is typically 1-4 μg/ml.
