Invitrogen™ Mouse VEGFR3 (Flt-4) Fc Chimera Recombinant Protein

Description

Recombinant Protein

It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. It is recommended that sterile water (400 μL) be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.25 mg/mL. Concentration is measured by UV.

Vascular endothelial growth factor is a key regulator of blood vessel development in embryos and angiogenesis in adult tissues. Unlike VEGF, the related VEGFC stimulates the growth of lymphatic vessels through its specificl ymphatic endothelial receptor VEGFR-3. In 1998, Dumont showed that targeted inactivation of the VEGFR-3 gene in mice resulted in defective blood vessel development in early embryos. Vasculogenesis and angiogenesis occurred, but large vessels became abnormally organized with defective lumens, leading to fluid accumulation in the pericardial cavity and cardiovascular failure at embryonic day 9.5. Thus, VEGFR3 has an essential role in the development of theembryonic cardiovascular system before the emergence of the lymphatic vessels.
