Recombinant HEK-293 cells expressing firefly luciferase gene under the control of NFAT response elements with constitutive expression of human VEGFR2 (Human Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2; KDR, FLK1; ref seq. NM_002253.1).
Mycoplasma testing: The cell line has been screened using the PCR-based VenorGeM Mycoplasma Detection kit (Sigma-Aldrich, #MP0025) to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Host Species: human
Supplied as Each vial contains 2 x 106 cells in 1 ml of 10% DMSO.
Background
VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor)/VEGFR (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor) interaction is an important mediator of angiogenesis as well as cell survival and proliferation. VEGFR2 is a tyrosine receptor kinase that plays a major role in cellular responses driven by VEGF. Targeting the kinase activity of VEGFR2 has been an attractive tool in cancer therapy based on its anti-angiogenesis effects. In addition to the kinase inhibitors, humanized monoclonal antibodies interfering with VEGF/VEGFR2 interaction have been also developed for anti-cancer treatments.
Application
Screen for inhibitors of VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling in a cellular context Screen for inhibitors of kinase activity of VEGFR2 in a cellular context
