Mass Spectrometry - Recombinant human VEGF 165A protein (Active) (AB259412)
Mass determination by ESI TOF.
Predicted mass is 19223.56 (+/- 10 Da by ESI-TOF). Mass at 19066.94 is due to loss of arginine on the C-terminus; peak at 19099.52 is a process related impurity.

Functional Studies - Recombinant human VEGF 165A protein (Active) (AB259412)
Fully biologically active determined by the dose dependent increase in proliferation of Human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
ED50 is ≤ 5.3 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of 0.19 x 106 units/mg.
Cell based assay testing is performed on the first lot of protein only and is provided as a reference for protein activity; subsequent lots of protein must pass all biophysical quality control parameters that meet the same parameters as the first lot.

Biological function summary
This protein acts directly on endothelial cells to stimulate their proliferation and migration. VEGF 165A is part of a larger family of VEGF proteins that share similar structures and functions. It plays a critical role in both physiological processes like wound healing and pathological conditions like cancer where its expression becomes dysregulated. The protein can bind to receptors on the cell surface initiating cell signaling pathways that lead to angiogenesis.
Pathways
VEGF 165A functions prominently in the VEGF signaling pathway and the MAPK/ERK pathway. Through these pathways it interacts with other proteins such as VEGF receptors particularly VEGFR-2 to propagate signals leading to angiogenesis and increased vascular permeability. These pathways are vital in ensuring that tissues receive an appropriate blood supply under various conditions including growth and repair processes.

General info
Function
N-VEGF. Participates in the induction of key genes involved in the response to hypoxia and in the induction of angiogenesis such as HIF1A (PubMed : 35455969). Involved in protecting cells from hypoxia-mediated cell death (By similarity).. VEGFA. Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth (PubMed : 34530889). 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. Binds to the NRP1/neuropilin-1 receptor. Binding to NRP1 initiates a signaling pathway needed for motor neuron axon guidance and cell body migration, including for the caudal migration of facial motor neurons from rhombomere 4 to rhombomere 6 during embryonic development (By similarity). Also binds the DEAR/FBXW7-AS1 receptor (PubMed : 17446437).. Isoform VEGF165B. Binds to the KDR receptor but does not activate downstream signaling pathways, does not activate angiogenesis and inhibits tumor growth.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family.
Post-translational modifications
Vascular endothelial growth factor A, long form. Produced by use of an alternative upstream CUG codon and post-translationally processed into the N-terminal N-VEGF form and the C-terminal secreted VEGFA form.
