Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ 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. No naturally occurring, secreted forms of VEGFR-2 have so far been reported. The binding of VEGF165 to VEGFR-2 is dependent on heparin. Soluble VEGFR-2 Human Recombinant produced in baculovirus is monomeric, glycosylated, polypeptide having a molecular mass of 116 kDa. The soluble receptor protein contains only the first 7 extracellular domains, which contain all the information necessary for ligand binding. The sKDR is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques._x000D_ Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), also known as kinase insert domain-containing receptor (KDR), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 4q12. The encoded protein belongs to the VEGF receptor family._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and its ligand VEGF play a vital role in angiogenesis and inflammation. It also facilitates autocrine stimulation of VEGF. VEGFR2 is implicated in progression of various types of cancers such as gliomas, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs)._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ KDR was lyophilized from a sterile solution containing 25 mM MES pH 5.5 and 100 mM NaCl._x000D_ Preparation Note_x000D_ Centrifuge the vial prior to opening._x000D_ Reconstitution_x000D_ Reconstitute in sterile water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be stored at 4 °C for 2-7 days. For future use for future use; For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1 % HSA or BSA) then store at ?20 °C. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles._x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ ASVGLPSVSL DLPRLSIQKD ILTIKANTTL QITCRGQRDL DWLWPNNQSG SEQRVEVTEC SDGLFCKTLT IPKVIGNDTG AYKCFYRETD LASVIYVYVQ DYRSPFIASV SDQHGVVYIT ENKNKTVVIP CLGSISNLNV SLCARYPEKR FVPDGNRISW DSKKGFTIPS YMISYAGMVF CEAKINDESY QSIMYIVVVV GYRIYDVVLS PSHGIELSVG EKLVLNCTAR TELNVGIDFN WEYPSSKHQH KKLVNRDLKT QSGSEMKKFL STLTIDGVTR SDQGLYTCAA SSGLMTKKNS FVRVHEKPFV AFGSGMESLV EATVGERVRI PAKYLGYPPP EIKWYKNGIP LESNHTIKAG HVLTIMEVSE RDTGNYTVIL TNPISKEKQS HVVSLVVYVP TPQIGEKSLI SPVDSYQYGT TQTLTCTVYA IPPPHHIHWY WQLEEECANE PSQAVSVTNP YPCEEWRSVE DFQGGNKIEV NKNQFALIEG KNKTVSTLVI QAANVSALYK CEAVNKVGRG ERVISFHVTR GPEITLQPDM QPTEQESVSL WCTADRSTFE NLTWYKLGPQ PLPIHVGELP TPVCKNLDTL WKLNATMFSN STNDILIMEL KNASLQDQGD YVCLAQDRKT KKRHCVVRQL TVLERVAPTI TGNLENQTTS IGESIEVSCT ASGNPPPQIM WFKDNETLVE DSGIVLKDGN RNLTIRRVRK EDEGLYTCQA CSVLGCAKVE AFFIIEGA
