Anti-VEGFD antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein vascular endothelial growth factor D. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 354 amino acid residues and a mass of 40.4 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in the lung, heart, small intestine and fetal lung, and at lower levels in skeletal muscle, colon, and pancreas. A member of the PDGF/VEGF growth factor protein family, VEGFD is known to be involved with neuronal differentiation and the regulation of angiogenesis. Synonyms for this target antigen include FIGF and c-fos induced growth factor (vascular endothelial growth factor D). VEGFD gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Over 70 citations in the literature describe the use of VEGFD antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
