General description

Vascular endothelial growth factors receptors (VEGF Rs) are receptor tyrosine kinases that bind to VEGF that plays important role in embryonic vasculogenesis, angiogenesis and homeostasis. VEGF R2 has the ability to form heterodimers with VEGF R1 and VEGF R3. The binding of VEGF to VEGF R2 results in activation of tyrosine amino acids of the cytoplasmic tail of the receptor. This interaction results in the activation of MAPK, PI3K, PKC, FAK and Src kinase pathways. The biological roles of VEGF R2 include in epithelial cell growth, proliferation, survival, migration and vascular permeability and angiogenesis. Due to its role in promoting migration and angiogenesis, VEGF R2 has been implicated in breast and prostate cancer
Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 recognizes mouse VEGF R2.

Specificity

The antibody has the ability to neutralize the biological activity of recombinant mouse VEGF R2. It demonstates approximately 40% cross-reactivity with recombinant human VEGF R2, 2% cross-reactivty with recombinant mouse VEGF R1, and no cross-reactivity with recombinant human VEGF R1 and VEGF R3.

Immunogen

purified recombinant mouse VEGF R2 extracellular domain expressed in NSO cells.

Application

Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 antibody may be used in immunoblotting at a working concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/ml. For flow cytometry the recommended concentration is 3-10 μg/ml. The immunohistochemistry of cells and tissues, a working concentration of 5-15 μg/ml may be used. For neutralization reactions, ND50 of 0.1-0.3 μg/ml is recommended.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline containing carbohydrates.

Investigations over the last decade have established the essential role of growth factors and their receptors during angiogenesis and carcinogenesis. The vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) family in mammals contains three members, VEGFR-1 (Flt-1), VEGFR-2 (KDR/Flk-1) and VEGFR-3 (Flt-4)

Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) regulate blood and lymph vessel formation through activation of the type V receptor tyrosine kinases VEGFR-1, -2 and -3. In addition, VEGFs interact with co-receptors such as neuropilins, integrins, semaphorins or heparansulfate glycosaminoglycans. Ligand binding

Vascular endothelial growth-factor receptors (VEGFRs) regulate the cardiovascular system. VEGFR1 is required for the recruitment of haematopoietic precursors and migration of monocytes and macrophages, whereas VEGFR2 and VEGFR3 are essential for the functions of vascular endothelial and lymphendothelial cells, respectively.
