Endocrine Gland-derived Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (EG-VEGF) is an angiogenic growth factor specifically expressed in the ovaries, testis, adrenal and placental tissues. The identification of tissue-selective angiogenic factors raises the possibility that other secreted molecules in this class exist. EG-VEGF expression correlates with vascularity in polycystic ovary syndrome, a leading cause of infertility. Recombinant human EG-VEGF is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 86 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 9.6 kDa.
Store vial at 4° C prior to restoration. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Maintain sterility. This product DOES NOT contain preservative. DO NOT VORTEX. We recommend adding a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA to 0.1% (i.e. 1.0 mg/mL). For best results aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or colder. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge vial before each opening to dislodge contents from the cap and to clarify if contents are not clear after standing at room temperature.
