Background	Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF or VEGF-A), also known as vascular permeability factor (VPF), is a potent mediator of both angiogenesis and vasculogenesis in the fetus and adults . It is a member of the plateletderived growth factor family that is characterized by a cysteine knot structure formed by eight conserved cysteine residues . Mouse embryos expressing only the VEGF120 isoform do not survive to term and show defects in skeletogenesis . Mouse VEGF120 shares 98% aa sequence identity with corresponding regions of rat, 89% with canine, feline, equine and porcine, and 87% with human, ovine and bovine VEGF, respectively. VEGF binds the type I transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases VEGF R1 (also called Flt 1) and VEGF R2 (Flk1/KDR) on endothelial cells . VEGF is required during embryogenesis to regulate the proliferation, migration, and survival of endothelial cells . In adults, VEGF functions mainly in wound healing and the female reproductive cycle . Pathologically, it is involved in tumor angiogenesis and vascular leakage . Circulating VEGF levels correlate with disease activity in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus .VEGF is induced by hypoxia and cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, oncostatin M and TNF-. .
Gene Symbol	Vegfa
Standard Curve	Representative standard curve for VEGF ELISA. VEGF was diluted in serial two-fold steps in Sample Diluent.
