The protein encoded by this gene is a member of theplatelet-derived growth factor/vascular endothelial growth factor(PDGF/VEGF) family, is active in angiogenesis and endothelial cellgrowth, and can also affect the permeability of blood vessels.This secreted protein undergoes a complex proteolytic maturation,generating multiple processed forms which bind and activate VEGFR-3receptors. Only the fully processed form can bind and activateVEGFR-2 receptors. This protein is structurally and functionallysimilar to vascular endothelial growth factor D. [provided byRefSeq].

Titration of the VEGFC antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.

This VEGFC antibody was produced from a mouse immunized with VEGFC recombinant protein.

Aliquot the VEGFC antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder.Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
