GoldBio growth factors are manufactured for RESEARCH USE ONLY and cannot be sold for human consumption!Recombinant Rat Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor164VEGF164Vascular endothelial growth factor is a potent growth factor and angiogenic cytokine. It stimulates proliferation and survival of endothelial cells and promotes angiogenesis and vascular permeability. VEGF is expressed in vascularized tissues and plays a prominent role in normal and pathological angiogenesis. VEGF has been implicated in the induction of tumor metastasis, intra-ocular neovascular syndromes and angiogenesis. Two receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), Flt-1 and Flk-1 have been shown to bind VEGF with high affinity.Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.
