The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (PDGF/VEGF) family and is active in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and endothelial cell growth. This secreted protein undergoes a complex proteolytic maturation, generating multiple processed forms which bind and activate VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 receptors. This protein is structurally and functionally similar to vascular endothelial growth factor C.
Titration of the VEGFD antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 322-352 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this VEGFD antibody.
Aliquot the VEGFD antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder.Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
