General description
VEGF-C (vascular endothelial growth factor-C) is a member of the VEGF family of structurally related proteins. The gene encoding this protein is localized on mouse chromosome 8. The product here (VEGF-C from mouse) is a 129 amino acid recombinant protein that lacks the N-terminal and C-terminal extensions and contains only the middle third VEGF homology domain. Mouse VEGF-C exhibits about 85% homology with human and 97% homology with rat VEGF-C.
Biochem/physiol Actions
VEGF-C (vascular endothelial growth factor-C) has a role in lymphangiogenesis. It functions via the VEGF receptor-3 (VEGFR-3). Studies have shown that lymphatic endothelial cells do not form sprouting capillaries without VEGF-C. It has also been observed that this protein stimulates tumor lymphangiogenesis in xenotransplanted and transgenic mouse models of cancer.
Physical form
Lyophilized from acetic solution with 50 μg BSA per 1 μg VEGF-C.
Preparation Note
Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitute in 0.1% acetic acid to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.
