Target Details
- Target: Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
- Target molecular weight: 38-44 kDa
- Target background: VEGF is a 34-43 kD polypeptide growth factor, part of the PDGF family. There are 7 homo-dimeric isoforms (A-G) with VEGF 121, VEGF 165 and VEGF189 being the most extensively studied (F,D and B respectively). They are generated by alternative splicing and binding to VEGF receptors (FLT-1 and KDR) which are selectively expressed on vascular endothelial cells. VEGF elicits mitogenic effects on endothelial cells and is strongly angiogenic, with a role in cancer and metastasis. VEGF is involved in vasculogenesis and endothelial growth. VEGF expression is potentiated, and the protein is secreted by tumour cells in response to hypoxia, by activated oncogenes, growth factors, nitric oxide and a variety of cytokines. Defects in VEGFA are linked to MVCD1 (microvascular complications of diabetes type 1) and VEGF polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to multiple cancers, e.g. glioma, HCC, ovarian, bladder, prostate, breast cancer etc. VEGF is an angiogenic growth factor and a prognostic indicator for cancer when detected in serum. This antibody binds VEGF-A.
