General Description

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is produced by thymus epithelial cells in adults. It is located on human chromosome 6p21.1 The Mouse VEGF ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of mouse VEGF in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) supports vascular homeostasis. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) modulates angiogenesis, vascular permeability and growth. It plays a vital role in the progression of the vasculature. Deficiency of VEGF-A leads to endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, ischemia and blood clotting.
