Function
Growth factor active in angiogenesis, and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration and also has effects on the permeability of blood vessels. May function in angiogenesis of the venous and lymphatic vascular systems during embryogenesis, and also in the maintenance of differentiated lymphatic endothelium in adults. Binds and activates KDR/VEGFR2 and FLT4/VEGFR3 receptors.
Alternative names
Vascular endothelial growth factor C, VEGF-C, Flt4 ligand, Vascular endothelial growth factor-related protein, Flt4-L, VRP, VEGFC

Notes
VEGFC Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free (ab303709 is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify human, mouse and rat VEGFC in sandwich ELISAs and many other pair-based applications.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- Sandwich ELISA
- FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- Bead-based assays
- AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- DELFIA® immunoassays
- Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- Multiplex
Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
Please note:
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

- Activity summary
VEGFC also known as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C is a member of the VEGF family involved in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. It has a molecular mass of approximately 35 kDa. VEGFC is expressed in various tissues with high levels in the heart lung and muscle. It acts primarily through its interaction with the VEGFR-3 receptor stimulating the formation of blood and lymphatic vessels. This protein plays an important role in the development and maintenance of the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
- Biological function summary
VEGFC contributes to the regulation of vascular and lymphatic endothelial cell functions. It is not known to be part of a larger protein complex but exerts its functions through interactions with receptors such as VEGFR-3. By promoting cell proliferation and migration VEGFC assists in the repair and regeneration of tissues. Its role in fluid balance is essential as it helps maintain tissue equilibrium and immune function.
- Pathways
VEGFC is integral to the VEGF signaling and lymphatic vessel development pathways. Within these processes VEGFC works alongside other proteins such as VEGFA and VEGFB to modulate vascular permeability and vessel formation. The interaction between VEGFC and the VEGFR-3 receptor specifically mediates lymphatic endothelial cell activation and function linking it to vital physiological processes like inflammation and tissue repair.
- Associated diseases and disorders
VEGFC is associated with cancer and lymphedema. Its role in promoting angiogenesis is critical in tumor growth and metastasis with its overexpression often linked to cancer progression. Furthermore insufficient VEGFC activity contributes to the development of lymphedema due to inadequate lymphatic drainage. In cancer pathology VEGFC works together with VEGFR-3 contributing to the abnormal growth of lymphatic vessels which in turn facilitates cancer cell dissemination.
