Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of VEGFC in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (PDGF/VEGF) family, is active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, and can also affect the permeability of blood vessels. This secreted protein undergoes a complex proteolytic maturation, generating multiple processed forms which bind and activate VEGFR-3 receptors. Only the fully processed form can bind and activate VEGFR-2 receptors. This protein is structurally and functionally similar to vascular endothelial growth factor D. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
