Potently contracts gastrointestinal (GI) smooth muscle. Induces proliferation, migration and fenestration (the formation of membrane discontinuities) in capillary endothelial cells derived from endocrine glands. Has little or no effect on a variety of other endothelial and non-endothelial cell types. Induces proliferation and differentiation, but not migration, of enteric neural crest cells. ly influences neuroblastoma progression by promoting the proliferation and migration of neuroblastoma cells. Positively regulates PTGS2 expression and prostaglandin synthesis. May play a role in placentation. May play a role in normal and pathological testis angiogenesis. .
Background
EG-VEGF, Endocrine glandderived vascular endothelial growth factor, is a human protein encoded by by the PROKR1 gene. Its gene is mapped to chromosome 1. The 1.4-kb cDNA encodes a protein of 105 amino acids with a well defined signal sequence. The mature protein is predicted to have 86 amino acids. Northe blot analysis demonstrated expression in testis, ovary, adrenal gland, and placenta. EG-VEGF has played a vital role in inducing proliferation, migration, and fenestration in capillary endothelial cells derived from endocrine glands. The standards of this kit are recombinant human EG-VEGF (A20-F105), with molecular weight of 10.5 KDa.
