Description

Endocrine gland-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (EG-VEGF), also called prokineticin 1 (PK1), is a member of the prokineticin family of secreted proteins that share a common structural motif containing ten conserved cysteine residues that form five pairs of disulfide bonds. The mature region in mouse is 93% and 87% aa identical to the mature regions in rat and human. Mouse EGVEGF stimulates proliferation and survival of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, and, in mouse, EG-VEGF acts to induce monocyte migration and stimulate hematopoiesis.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH7.4, with 3% Trehalose.

Reconstitution

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
