Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. Induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis and induces permeabilization of blood vessels. Binds to the FLT1/VEGFR1 and KDR/VEGFR2 receptors, heparan sulfate and heparin. May play a role in increasing vascular permeability during lactation, when increased transport of molecules from the blood is required for efficient milk protein synthesis.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Rat Vascular endothelial growth factor A
Subcellular Location
Secreted VEGF-A120 is acidic and freely secreted. VEGF-A164 is more basic, has heparin-binding properties and, although a signicant proportion remains cell-associated, most is freely secreted. VEGF-A188 is very basic, it is cell-associated after secretion and is bound avidly by heparin and the extracellular matrix, although it may be released as a soluble form by heparin, heparinase or plasmin.
Detection Range
31.2-2000pg/mL

VEGFA_RAT
Linearity
The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of VEGF-A and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay):Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Intra-Assay CV: ≤ 4.8%
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays):Three samples of known concentration were tested in five separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.
Inter-Assay CV: ≤ 10.2%
Protein Name
Vascular endothelial growth factor A
Recovery
Recovery was determined by spiking various levels of VEGF-A into serum and plasma .
