Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor D, His Tag, HEK, human recombinant (rHuVEGF-D-His -HEK)

Human recombinant VEGFD produced in HEK-293 cells is a secreted protein (amino acids Phe93-Ser201) fused to a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. VEGF-D belongs to the VEGF/PDGF family of proteins. VEGF-D promotes lymphangiogesis, endothelial cell growth, and regulates vascular permeability. In addition, VEGF-D has an important part in the creation of the venous and lymphatic vascular systems and in the growth and maintenance of differentiated lymphatic endothelium Mature VEGF-D forms a noncovalently linked homodimer, and binds to and activate both VEGFR-2 (flk1) and VEGFR-3 (flt4).
