Description

General description

VEGFR-2 has a lower affinity for VEGF than the Flt-1 receptor, but a higher signaling activity. Mitogenic activity in endothelial cells is mainly mediated by VEGFR-2 leading to their proliferation. No naturally occurring, secreted forms of VEGFR-2 have so far been reported. The binding of VEGF165 to VEGFR-2 is dependent on heparin. Soluble VEGFR-2 Human Recombinant produced in baculovirus is monomeric, glycosylated, polypeptide having a molecular mass of 116 kDa. The soluble receptor protein contains only the first 7 extracellular domains, which contain all the information necessary for ligand binding. The sKDR is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), also known as kinase insert domain-containing receptor (KDR), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 4q12. The encoded protein belongs to the VEGF receptor family.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and its ligand VEGF play a vital role in angiogenesis and inflammation. It also facilitates autocrine stimulation of VEGF. VEGFR2 is implicated in progression of various types of cancers such as gliomas, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).

Physical form

KDR was lyophilized from a sterile solution containing 25 mM MES pH 5.5 and 100 mM NaCl.

Preparation Note

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute in sterile water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be stored at 4 °C for 2-7 days. For future use for future use; For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1 % HSA or BSA) then store at ?20 °C. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
