Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of human vascular endothelial cell growth factor E (VEGF-E) concentrations in serum, urine, cell culture supernates, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor family. The four members of this family are mitogenic factors for cells of mesenchymal origin and are characterized by a core motif of eight cysteines. This gene product appears to form only homodimers. It differs from the platelet-derived growth factor alpha and beta polypeptides in having an unusual N-terminal domain, the CUB domain. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]
