products description :
VEGF is a heparin-binding glycoprotein, which can exist in a number of different isoforms. The protein has been found to be a potent inducer of angiogeneis and endothelial cell proliferation and plays an important role in regulating vasculogenesis. VEGF can be detected in both the plasma and serum and has been implicated in several disease states associated with augmented angiogenesis. Recombinant VEGF (165) comprises a 165 amino acid fragment (5-169) corresponding to the VEGF 165 isoform and is expressed in E Coli with an aminoterminal hexahistidine tag. This product is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use.

ncbi summary :
This gene is a member of the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. It encodes a heparin-binding protein, which exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer. This growth factor induces proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells, and is essential for both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Disruption of this gene in mice resulted in abnormal embryonic blood vessel formation. This gene is upregulated in many known tumors and its expression is correlated with tumor stage and progression. Elevated levels of this protein are found in patients with POEMS syndrome, also known as Crow-Fukase syndrome. Allelic variants of this gene have been associated with microvascular complications of diabetes 1 (MVCD1) and atherosclerosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. There is also evidence for alternative translation initiation from upstream non-AUG (CUG) codons resulting in additional isoforms. A recent study showed that a C-terminally extended isoform is produced by use of an alternative in-frame translation termination codon via a stop codon readthrough mechanism, and that this isoform is antiangiogenic. Expression of some isoforms derived from the AUG start codon is regulated by a small upstream open reading frame, which is located within an internal ribosome entry site.
