Mouse VEGF ELISA Kit

This kit recognizes both the 164 and 120 amino acid residue forms of mouse VEGF. There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins. Protein function: Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. Induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis and induces permeabilization of blood vessels. Binds to the FLT1/VEGFR1 and KDR/VEGFR2 receptors, heparan sulfate and heparin. May play a role in increasing vascular permeability during lactation, when increased transport of molecules from the blood is required for efficient milk protein synthesis. [The UniProt Consortium]
