Function
Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as a cell-surface receptor for VEGFC and VEGFD, and plays an essential role in adult lymphangiogenesis and in the development of the vascular network and the cardiovascular system during embryonic development. Promotes proliferation, survival and migration of endothelial cells, and regulates angiogenic sprouting. Signaling by activated FLT4 leads to enhanced production of VEGFC, and to a lesser degree VEGFA, thereby creating a positive feedback loop that enhances FLT4 signaling. Modulates KDR signaling by forming heterodimers. The secreted isoform 3 may function as a decoy receptor for VEGFC and/or VEGFD and play an important role as a negative regulator of VEGFC-mediated lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis. Binding of vascular growth factors to isoform 1 or isoform 2 leads to the activation of several signaling cascades; isoform 2 seems to be less efficient in signal transduction, because it has a truncated C-terminus and therefore lacks several phosphorylation sites. Mediates activation of the MAPK1/ERK2, MAPK3/ERK1 signaling pathway, of MAPK8 and the JUN signaling pathway, and of the AKT1 signaling pathway. Phosphorylates SHC1. Mediates phosphorylation of PIK3R1, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Promotes phosphorylation of MAPK8 at 'Thr-183' and 'Tyr-185', and of AKT1 at 'Ser-473'.

Notes
Human VEGF R3 ELISA Kit (ab252350) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of VEGF R3 protein in cell culture media, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human VEGF R3 with 89.6 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (Pre-coated 384 well Microplate SimpleStep ELISA® ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

- Activity summary
VEGF Receptor 3 also known as FLT-4 is a protein essential for lymphatic development and is expressed mainly in lymphatic endothelial cells. This receptor has a molecular mass of approximately 195 kDa. VEGF Receptor 3 belongs to the tyrosine kinase family and binds with high affinity to its ligands VEGF-C and VEGF-D. These interactions lead to the activation of intracellular signaling cascades that promote cell proliferation migration and survival.
- Biological function summary
The VEGF Receptor 3 acts as an important regulator of lymphangiogenesis which is the growth of new lymphatic vessels from pre-existing ones. It is not typically part of larger protein complexes but it works closely with its ligands to facilitate the processes associated with lymph vessel formation and function. Proper activity of VEGF Receptor 3 is necessary for maintaining normal lymphatic vessel remodeling and function during development and in some adult tissues.
- Pathways
The receptor is involved in the VEGF signaling pathway which plays an important role in vascular and lymphatic development. This pathway intersects with others like the PI3K/AKT pathway a critical mediator of cell growth and survival. VEGF Receptor 3 interacts with related receptors such as VEGF Receptor 2 in these pathways to regulate complex and essential physiological processes.
- Associated diseases and disorders
VEGF Receptor 3 has been linked to lymphedema which is swelling due to lymphatic system dysfunction and certain cancers where excessive angiogenesis occurs. Mutations or dysregulations in the receptor's signaling can lead to these conditions. In cancer for instance VEGF Receptor 3 along with its associated protein VEGF-C can promote tumor lymphangiogenesis facilitating metastasis. Antagonists like anti-VEGF therapies target these receptors to inhibit tumor progression and manage these disorders.

Sandwich ELISA - Human VEGF R3 ELISA Kit (ab252350)
Example of human VEGF R3 standard curve in Sample Diluent NS.
The VEGF R3 standard curve was prepared as described in Section 10. Raw data values are shown in the table. Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
Sandwich ELISA - Human VEGF R3 ELISA Kit (ab252350)
Interpolated concentrations of native VEGF R3 in human serum and plasma samples.
The concentrations of VEGF R3 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the VEGF R3 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 5%, plasma (citrate) 5%, plasma (heparin) 5%, and plasma (EDTA) 5%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean VEGF R3 concentration was determined to be 215.0 ng/mL in neat serum, 185.8 ng/mL in neat plasma (citrate), 197.9 ng/mL in neat plasma (heparin), and 191.5 ng/mL in neat plasma (EDTA).
Sandwich ELISA - Human VEGF R3 ELISA Kit (ab252350)
Serum from ten individual healthy human female donors was measured in duplicate.
Interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean VEGF R3 concentration was determined to be 294.2 ng/mL with a range of 197.4 – 429.6 ng/mL.
