The gene VEGFA (vascular endothelial growth factor A) is a member of VEGF family of growth factors. The gene is localized to human chromosome 6p21.1. It contains eight exons interspaced by seven introns, spanning a length of 14 kb. The critical region of 2.36 kbp in human promoter lacks a consensus TATA box. However, it contains various consensus-binding sites for many transcriptional regulators.

The gene VEGFA (vascular endothelial growth factor A) encodes a secreted mitogen that is found to participate in physiological and pathological angiogenesis. It serves as a growth factor for endothelial cells and functions in the formation of new blood vessels during embryonic development and adulthood. It binds to two tyrosine kinase receptors VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 and functions in angiogenesis and maintenance of vasculature.

Lyophilized with no additives.

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers.
