Description of Human KDR (D7) / VEGFR-2 soluble (InCs)

Recombinant Human soluble Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 (sKDR(D7)) is produced as a non-chimeric protein in a monomeric form. The soluble receptor protein consists of all 7 extracellular domains, which contain all the information necessary for high affinity ligand binding. The receptor monomers have a mass of approximately 116 kDa.Endothelial cells express three different vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors, belonging to the family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). They are named VEGFR-1 (Flt-1), VEGFR-2 (KDR/Flk-1), VEGFR-3 (Flt-4). Their expression is almost exclusively restricted to endothelial cells, but VEGFR-1 can also be found on monocytes. All VEGF-receptors have seven immunoglobulin-like extracellular domains, a single transmembrane region and an intracellular split tyrosine kinase domain. VEGFR-2 has a lower affinity for VEGF than the Flt-1 receptor, but a higher signaling activity. Mitogenic activity in endothelial cells is mainly mediated by VEGFR-2 leading to their proliferation. The binding of VEGF165 to VEGFR-2 is dependent on heparin.

Biological Activity

Measured by its ability to inhibit the VEGF165-induced proliferation in human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVE) cells.

Reconstitution

The lyophilized human sKDR is soluble in water and most aqueous buffers, it should be reconstituted in water or PBS to a concentration of not lower than 100µg/ml.
