Product overview
The Porcine VEGF-A ELISA kit (ab218298) is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantitative measurement of Porcine VEGF-A in serum (Porcine VEGF-A concentration is low in normal serum and plasma samples and may not be detectable in this assay), plasma and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for VEGF-A coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and VEGF-A present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-Porcine VEGF-A antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of VEGF-A bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is Measured at 450 nm.

Function
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. NRP1/Neuropilin-1 binds isoforms VEGF-165 and VEGF-145. Isoform VEGF165B binds to KDR but does not activate downstream signaling pathways, does not activate angiogenesis and inhibits tumor growth. -
Tissue specificity
Isoform VEGF189, isoform VEGF165 and isoform VEGF121 are widely expressed. Isoform VEGF206 and isoform VEGF145 are not widely expressed. A higher level expression seen in pituitary tumors as compared to the pituitary gland. -
Involvement in disease
Microvascular complications of diabetes 1 -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. VEGF121 is acidic and freely secreted. VEGF165 is more basic, has heparin-binding properties and, although a signicant proportion remains cell-associated, most is freely secreted. VEGF189 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. - Information by UniProt
